Manual for teacher

Here is how report check between students by similarity check function works.

• Reports submitted by the same student will be checked if the subject is different but will not be checked within the same subject.
• Reports submitted by different students will be checked regardless of whether the subjects are the same.
• If it is determined that the report is similar to another subject assigned by another teacher, you can send a report disclosure request email to the subject teacher. When it’s approved, an email is automatically returned, and the report can be referenced on the email.

		Reports submitted student
		same student	different students
Assignment subject	same subject	(③)	(①)
	different subject	(④)	(②)
