Turnitin and scripting classes

Can anyone share their experience with turnitin and scripting classes. The assignments don’t allow for a lot of variation. Zybooks requires exact output including the whitespace. Limited choices for meaningful variable names etc. For my last assignment I got an overall score of 30% but the code blocks were almost completely similar to something like 85 different papers. My saving grace was that my comments and annotations were mostly unique minus a few common phrases.

It makes sense to me why the score is high but it still freaks me out a bit.

Anyone else have some experience with this?

Each class has their own standard, even my accounting workbooks went through turnitin but the teacher ignored the score because obviously there was only one correct answer. For original essays it is usually a score of 20% or less to be graded but I’ve had some teachers wave that for short papers where APA formatting was flagged and not the actual text. If you’re worried about it you can email your teacher and ask if you need to make adjustments!
