After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions.
Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce accidental overlap, then review everything manually before uploading the final version. Lately I’ve been doing that step with a simple plagiarism remover rather than rewriting sections by hand, which is especially helpful for reflections and multi-source write-ups. It’s not about changing the ideas, just tightening wording before the final Canvas submission.
Curious if others here have a similar pre-submission routine, or if you rely entirely on the built-in originality checks.
