POINT VALUE - eg. 100 (if you are marking within Turnitin)
POST DATE – if giving feedback within Turnitin – up to this date. If before DUEDATE, you can give feedback as they go.
Choose this for plagiarism check, other is if you’re not checking plagiarism. eg. artwork for feedback only
Up to you – can change later for a late student

18. Other Tips
Most students (Linda’s Biology class, anyway) liked to submit before due date – need to be organised. Students said it was less than a 24 hour turn-around.
If as student has trouble submitting their assignment, the teacher has the option to submit it for them as an Instructor
Throughout Turnitin, there are question marks, explaining different functions.
Percentage of plagiarism varies. Universities – 8-10 %, CBHS Science Dept. 13 %, Aloysius 15 %. Up to the teacher. Linda Keirs (Term 2) had a rough figure in her head (13 %), but didn’t tell the boys. She did tell them to avoid PLAGIARISM.
Students MUST use their school to sign up to TURNITIN. If they forget their password, it can easily be retrieved. You will need to tell students what their school address is (many don’t know or use it).
Linda did provide her students with an instruction sheet for Turnitin (see next slide).
