As a student, you will need to be aware of the plagiarism policy when submitting assignments.
CSU Global defines plagiarism as "the adoption or reproduction of ideas, words, or statements of another person as one's own either knowingly, carelessly, or without acknowledgment." Plagiarism is typically identified through an online tool that we use called TurnItIn, which detects plagiarized material in submitted assignments and provides an “originality report” that shows the percentage of quoted material. Students’ similarity score is expected to be 30% or less, with no more than 20% of the paper containing quoted material.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more widely-used as technology in the AI field grows. CSU Global prohibits the use of AI in the creation of submitted work as AI-generated content cannot be incorporated into assignments and falls outside of the 30% threshold, unless expressly directed by the assignment deliverables and the instructor.
Currently, students are unable to view their AI score when using TurnItIn, but this feature will be available in the future.
You can find the full plagiarism policy through the Students Rights Polices Page. The CSU Global Student Help Center also has helpful information on submitting weekly assignments in Canvas. Take a few minutes to look through the information in the “Submitting Assignments” and “Classroom Behavior” articles and don’t forget about all of the resources available in the Writing Center to support you and your writing!
