Hi,

My institution uses the Enhanced Similarity Report integrated with Canvas LMS. My question concerns best practices for managing exclusions on a student's report. When grading a student paper, let's say I read/skim through all the matches and conclude that the student did their own original work. Do instructors usually then grade the paper like normal, or do they go through and individually exclude every single match so that the resulting similarity score is 0%?

I realize that there isn't really a right or wrong answer, but I'm looking for advice/recommendations.

Thank you,

Tim
