SUBMISSION
(1) Submit via Turnitin:
• Turnitin can be accessed via the 'Assessment' section on the Blackboard.
• Two tabs have been created in Turnitin; the Draft and the Final tab.
• Students are given opportunities to submit draft copy of their assignment to the DRAFT tab for which they will receive an originality report.
• Students are encouraged to submit the draft copy of the assignment to the DRAFT tab and use the feedback from the originality report (that will be emailed to students) to amend the assignment to ensure that plagiarism has not occurred.
• Students are also advised to exercise extreme caution when submitting into the FINAL tab as there is only ONE opportunity to upload the correct copy which will be marked.
• There is no acceptable maximum percentage for Turnitin. Turnitin is merely a tool for checking similarities between documents and is therefore not an indication of plagiarism. Students may have a high percentage match but they may also have referenced appropriately in which case the student will be penalised for the inability to demonstrate independent thought – this is not plagiarism. On the other hand, students may have a low percentage match but can be considered to have plagiarised if they did not acknowledge the sources accordingly.
(2) Extension: All assignment extension requests must be submitted via the AES, link to which is available on Student OASIS. No personal email requests in this regard are anticipated.
(3) Late submission: A penalty of ten percent per calendar day is applied for late submissions.
