Plagiarism detection: “Normally, students will be required to submit their course essays to the University’s plagiarism detection tool for a review of textual similarity and detection of possible plagiarism. In doing so, students will allow their essays to be included as source documents in the tool’s reference database, where they will be used solely for the purpose of  detecting plagiarism. The terms that apply to the University's   use of this tool are described on the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation website (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/ed-tech/teaching-technology/pdt/pdt-faq/)".
