Blackboard Ultra (Turnitin Assignments) - Turnitin: Copy an assignment from an existing class

This article explains how to use Turnitin’s Copy Assignment feature to quickly duplicate assignment settings from an existing course into a new course. Whether you're reusing assignments for a new semester, applying the same setup across multiple courses, or creating a template to use within a course, copying assignments saves time and ensures consistency while allowing assignment dates to be updated as needed.
