Be sure to use the Turnitin Grammar Checker to ensure that your paper is well written and ensure that you have spell-checked everything. If you resubmit your paper, note that it takes 24 - 48 hours for your new score to show up for this assignment. Submitting Your Assignment and Turnitin The Turnitin Assignment is in Canvas. You do NOT have to go to Turnitin to submit your paper. Turnitin is plagiarism-checking software. It checks to see if your work is original. I have set the Turnitin Assignment so you can submit your paper as many times as you want until the due date. That will allow you to check your plagiarism score and see where your work is not original. You can then rephrase that section and put it into your own words. The expectation in this course is that your paper scores no more than 10% in plagiarism (90% original work). You will be able to resubmit your paper as many times as you need to in order to get it right until the Due Date (see the link below to a video showing you how to resubmit). You will NOT be able to resubmit after the Due Date. Note that it takes 24 hours to see your new plagiarism score after resubmission. No more than 2 or 3 quotes in the entire paper, please. Avoiding Plagiarism You must be careful not to copy someone else's ideas and not to copy and paste ideas from the sources you find. Copying and pasting from someone else's work are considered plagiarism. You may use other people's ideas, but you have to put them in your own words and reference the source. Putting things in your own words is called "paraphrasing." And you must put the reference right after the idea. Needless to say, submitting plagiarized papers, including those copied from one of the Web sites that have "free" papers or even papers you can buy, will result in a penalty. That penalty in this course is that your grade will be reduced by the percentage of plagiarism over 10%. In other words, the less plagiarism, the higher your score is likely to be; the more plagiarism, the lower your score will be. The paper is worth 10% of your grade in this course. Don't risk it!
