Your submission in its entirety must be between 2500-3,000 words – this EXCLUDES the reference, title,
and abstract. The 2,500 to 3,000 words is only the body of the work.
It is to be typed (or pasted) directly into Turn-It In. Given the length of the submission, it is advised that
students prepare it in a word processing program, and when finalized, copy and paste the text into the
Turnitin.
When you submit your work – you need to name your paper as your name (last name, first name) and the
title. For example, my submission would be “Lord, Justin – Sample Paper.”
Your submission will be assessed for originality. Your paper cannot exceed the 20% limit for as the
guidelines set-up in Turnitin. You are citing scholarly work but even with quotes – your work will not be
accepted if it is above the Turnitin threshold. If your work does exceed that threshold, I highly
recommend that you retract your paper and refine it before the resubmission date.
However, if your paper does not exceed the 20% limit, I highly recommend that you only submit in your
assignment ONCE. Once you submit your paper it will be added to the database that Turnitin reviews. If
you resubmit your paper, if it is not necessary – your original paper will already be included in the
database – your similarity score will increase dramatically (close to 100%).
If you resubmit your paper – you need to take a screen shot of your first submission and your second
submission and send that along with a copy of the original and revised paper to your academic coach.
If you have problems with formatting your submission, consider using Windows Notepad, as it is very
effective for transferring distortion-free text into the Moodle posting window, after which you can add
formatting directly in Moodle.
