Turnitin - Similarity Report
What % is acceptable?
Turnitin - Similarity Report
Similarity percentage is not same as a
percentage of the assessment has been
plagiarised
KOI plagiarism Guide

L1 - Level 1 Minor Academic Misconduct (if say less

than 10% of the assessment has plagiarism) – this would
justify a few nominal marks deduction for the question

 L2 - Level 2 Moderate Academic Misconduct (if say

between 10% and 25% of the assessment has plagiar-
ism) – this would justify more marks deducted for the
question
KOI plagiarism Guide

DANGEROUS Level

L3 - Level 3 Major Academic Misconduct (if

say more than 25% of the assessment has
been plagiarised) – this would justify a zero
mark for the question
 Contract Cheating
Contract cheating is where a student commissions -
either paid or unpaid - that is offering its services to
produce academic work on the student's behalf.
These days, there are many online contract cheating
sites that try to attract students to behave dishonestly.

It is academic misconduct. Such an incident will

be treated very seriously at KOI.
AI
DO not use AI. Your lecturer will see AI percentage in
Turnitin program.

More than 25% AI is considered as Major Academic

Misconduct– this would justify a zero mark for the
