Information on submitting your assignments through TurnItIn.
Plagiarism is the offence of publishing another writer’s findings, opinions or words as if they were one’s own and original. Failure to acknowledge and correctly attribute another writer’s work is tantamount to plagiarism and the plagiarist will be severely penalised. Severe cases may lead to failure of your degree.
TurnItIn submissions
Submissions for assignments are checked for originality using a website called TurnItIn.

For a TurnItIn Moodle assignment, if the tutor has made the settings available you will be able to view a similarity report in the assignment submission area.
TurnItIn self check
You can self-check your own work to get a report on its originality before the actual submission if you wish. This is through a special Moodle course called Academic Integrity that you should see or can self enrol onto.
