Submission Details
After you submit your paper to Canvas, you will have access to a Turnitin similarity report a short time later. After submitting, go to the gradebook to find your similarity report. If there are significant problems, please address them and resubmit. If you have questions about whether it is truly a problem that needs to be addressed please get in touch with me. This tool is meant to be a learning tool, not a penalty tool for plagiarism. You will not be penalized for having to resubmit, so I encourage you all to submit a draft prior to the final deadline for submission. This will give you time to address any potential problem areas.
Please review the assignment statement below for additional details, and links to useful guides and tips.
