You will be to submitting an electronic
copy of your assignments into a plagiarism detection website called Turnitin.com. Turnitin
compares your submission with the content of over 2 billion other papers, books, journal articles and
websites. Turnitin creates a report that highlights
similarities and allows your instructor to examine the original source. Your assignments become
a permanent part of the Turnitin database so that others
can’t recycle them. This is being done to discourage those few students who might be
tempted to borrow inappropriately from other writers past or present. Turnitin is being used at many universities across the country.
Please remember, in order to receive a grade, you will also need to hand in a
duplicate paper copy of your assignment.
