What is Unicheck?
Unicheck is a similarity checker. It verifies the originality of the submitted text or document and delivers a detailed similarity report to the teacher/instructor.
Does Unicheck automatically grade my submission?
No, Unicheck does not grade your submissions automatically. Grading is done by the teacher/instructor manually. The exception would be only if the institution or department has enabled auto-grading, based on the similarity score. Even in this scenario, teachers are responsible for reviewing the auto-grade and updating it, if necessary. Auto-grading is enabled if upon submission, any student in the course, in a minute or so, receives a grade.
Will cited material be identified by Unicheck as a plagiarism?
No. Unicheck identified properly cited material and does not mark it as a similarity. If the instructor has allowed students to see a similarity score/report, a student can open the report and review the material, which was identified as citations (marked in blue color):
