The name of the supervisor 

Turnitin replaces Ouriginal as our software for plagiarism detection. NB! Ouriginal is no longer in use from 1 January, 2025 onwards.

The supervisor makes an assignment in Moodle where the students submit their thesis for evaluation. In the settings for the assignment, activate the Turnitin plugin, click "Index all submissions" and "Allow students to view the similarity report". At Notify graders about submissions, choose Yes, then you will get an e-mail when a student sends in his/her thesis.
