Handing In Assignments

You should sub­mit BOTH an elec­tronic ver­sion of your work to Tur­nitin (using the login infor­ma­tion pro­vided on the home­work site) AND one iden­ti­cal paper copy in class in the first 5 min­utes of class due date. If you miss class you should still get it into Turnitin.com on time (because the site will lock up auto­mat­i­cally), but you can sub­mit the paper copy in the next class you have with me.

Re-Read the Question

Even though you’re just about fin­ished your assign­ment, it is still worth going back and re-reading the ques­tion, to make sure you are: a) answer­ing the ques­tion and b) answer­ing a ques­tion in a way that’s going to get you top marks.

Cit­ing your sources

Dou­ble check that you’re cit­ing your sources prop­erly. You can use www.easybib.com (MLA for­mat) if you aren’t sure about something.

Using Turnitin.com

Don’t for­get to sub­mit a copy to Turnitin.com.

A stu­dent has just asked what file type it needs to be in to upload unto the site. It looks like Open Office (.odt) isn’t sup­ported, so you’ll have to save it in Open Office as one of the file types listed below. Only the fol­low­ing file types are cur­rently sup­ported by Turnitin:

Word (.doc(x))
Word­Per­fect (.wpd)
Post­Script (.ps)
PDF (.pdf)
Plain Text (.txt)
Rich Text For­mat (.rtf)
HTML (.html)
