- Navigate to My
Courses, your list of modules
on Moodle, and locate the module that you
wish to submit a Turnitin
assignment.
- Locate the relevant Turnitin
Assignment which should
appear with a light-red coloured
icon:
- Click on the Turnitin
Assignment link. The
Assignments page will open displaying the
page My
Submissions. Details of the
assignment title, start and due dates and
related information is displayed:
If this is your first time to use Turnitin at MIC, you will be asked to accept the Turnitin User Agreement before you can continue. To do this, follow the instructions provided in the pop-up message. Once you agree to the Turnitin User Agreement you will be returned to the Turnitin My Submissions page.
- At the top of the My
Submissions page you will see
the assignment Start Date, Due
Date and Post
Date. The Post
Date applies if your lecturer
is using Turnitin to grade and return
feedback on the submissions: this is the
date from which grades and feedback will
be released for this assignment. For more
information, see the Turnitin
Post
Date knowledge base
article.
- Below this row you will see
the Submission
Record. Within
the Submission
Record section, click on
the Submit
Paper button:
- The Submit Paper dialog
will open:
- Enter the Submission Title - this is usually the title of your
paper. Check your Assignment
Brief or with your lecturer
on whether you should use a particular
format for the Submission
Title . This is a mandatory
field.
- In the File to
Submit field drag-and-drop
your file to the grey target arrow to
commence upload. Alternatively, you may
click the Files button at
the top left of the section and use the
dialogue box provided to locate and upload
a file from your device.
- Carefully review the Submission
Statement before ticking the
required box to confirm that your
submission complies with the statement. A
link is provided to the MIC
Academic Integrity Policy for
your reference. This is a mandatory
field.
- Click on the Add
Submission button to proceed.
This step may take a moment while your
file is uploaded and is assessed by the
platform to ensure that is contains
readable text. Similarity checking does
not take place at this time: this is
solely a content check.
- Once the upload is successfully complete;
you will be presented with a Digital
Receipt. This will confirm
your Turnitin Submission
ID and present
a Submission extract of
the text found in your file. Do not be
concerned that the formatting has been
removed from this view.
Turnitin will also send a copy of the Digital Receipt to your MIC student email account. It is recommended to retain this email as proof of submission.
If an error arises, and you are not presented with a Digital Receipt, this may be because your file does not comply with the submission file format or other considerations outlined earlier. Common reasons for failed submissions are that the file uploaded is not in an acceptable format or that file contains images of text (such as scanned or photographed pages.)
- Click on the Close button
which appears at the top right side of the
window so conclude your submission.
- You will now be returned to the My
Submissions page.
- If you have successfully submitted an
assignment you will see
the Submission Title, Turnitin
Paper ID and
the Submitted date in
the Submission Record.
- You can review your submission by clicking
on the Submission
Title link provided. This
will allow you to download a viewable copy
of the submission but will not allow
further editing.
- The submission date and time is displayed
for reference.
- It is also possible to view
your Digital Receipt for
submission and have access to
the Turnitin Paper
ID should you need it.
