Assessment number and type (eg, Assessment 1: report)

Turnitin paper ID (if applicable)
Are there any other students involved? If so list their names here.
Select one that best describes this potential academic integrity breach. note: please look at the submission in a wholistic view - don't just take Turnitin's high or low similarity score as the only measurement, what other areas raised concerns? eg. change of writing style, differing language levels, irrelevant reference list, & whether the general content is not relevant, or too general. Look at the student's level of quality & writing style in previous assessments submitted.
