About SafeAssign Reports
SafeAssign is a tool used in Blackboard that detects plagiarism on submitted assignments. SafeAssign produces a report and score from 0% to 100% based on amount of material plagiarized in the submission. The report shows the source of the plagiarized information and previews a comparison between the source and the submitted work.
