What is the percentage threshold for plagiarism at Open University?
Hi fellow students,
I submitted my EMA before checking for plagiarism (silly me), and the result showed 1% similarity. Just half a sentence someone wrote about shoes in their blogs (not even related to my topic). What is the acceptable threshold for plagiarism? Will I get penalised for 1%? Normally I have 0%, but in this case, I used a sentence and grammar correcter so it might have picked up similarities from online sources?
Do you guys have any experience in this regard? did you have 1% plagiarism and got away with it at OU?

Hi
I don't know what the percentage is for OU, but 1% seems low - you should be fine 😁

I've used Grammarly to check for plagiarism, so I won't know how much it will be on Turnitin.
I used AI to rephrase my sentences as English isnt my first language, but I have put a lot of references and I conducted my own research on the case study.
Grammarly detected plagiarism on "similar" sentence build up, probably due to AI?
I am a bit worried because I always had 0%
