Information Technology SBA Originality Report Instructions

All groups are required to generate an originality report for their SBA submissions for the ICT SBA.

We will be using the tool GPTZero[1]  to produce these originality reports.

Group leaders are required to submit these reports. However, the responsibility is not on the group leader to create the report.

Any member of the group may generate the originality report and provide it to the group leader for submission.

Prepare your Submission for ORiginality Checking.

For the CSEC IT SBA , we will be checking the word processing submission and the program design and implementation submission.  You will create copies of these submissions for upload to GPTZero with any personally identifiable  information removed, i.e. group member names, candidate numbers, addresses, etc. :

Word Processing Instructions:

Mail merge (Part B):

Group 02-WordProcessing-PartB-Merged-Originality Checking.docx

    An example of how to generate the originality report is shown here:

    Use the export option to save the report. Rename the filename to match your original naming convention, e.g. Upload your first document for checking, e.g. “Group 02-ProblemSolving-Originality Report.docx“

    Generate reports for all other files that you have prepared for upload and submit them as directed by your teacher.
