how do we access the turnitin result once we have passed?
October 19, 2023 at 11:12 am #693675You don’t get this information – why would anyone want it anyway if they passed?
It is possible that if you make a formal subject data access request under GDPR regulation (for which there is a nominal charge), they may give the overall score to you but that would not extend to getting a copy of the actual Turnitin report This is because all submissions worldwide (not just OBU’s) are given a system ID number and does not contain your name or any identification that could identify you personally in the public domain and therefore would not constitute ‘personal information’ as defined in the GDPR.
The overall Turnitin score on its own is pretty useless – as with many things the ‘devil is in the detail’ and comes down to what has actually been matched E.g. directly cited legislation forms part of the matching score picked up by Turnitin but is ignored by markers. The actual Turnitin report used by Universities is key but you have no legal grounds IMO to demand this for the reasons I have given above.
