Turnitin

You may be asked to submit your assignment to Turnitin via Moodle. This is so your lecturer can easily check that the assignment is the result of your own work and that you have properly acknowledged the sources of information used.

All assignments submitted through Turnitin are checked against Turnitin's extensive database of Internet content, publications and student submissions.

2. Single submission + immediate Originality Report - You can view report after submission but cannot resubmit assignment
