Applying Course Concepts through an Assignment on Academic Honesty and Turnitin

College Policies on Academic Honesty and Plagiarism

This assignment is designed for you to apply the concepts learned in the course (Module 1-7).

Ensure you are aware of the College policies on Academic Honesty and Plagiarism. These are taken very seriously at the College even if the dishonesty or plagiarism is unintentional. Please also know that taking credit for work you did not contribute to is also considered Academic Dishonesty and will be reported.

This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin. Turnitin is a web-based service that checks the assignment against its database of materials that contain other learner’s work as well as  electronic academic materials.

Learners find the Turnitin report useful for editing papers. The report will include incorrect use of referencing, too many quotes, and paraphrases. If the Turnitin report, for your first draft, shows a high percentage of matching text, this will give you an opportunity to review and edit your assignment for proper citations and more original analysis. Once you make  our edits, it is possible to submit your work to Turnitin again. Turnitin will know not to match the text in your second draft with text in your first draft, and so on. It is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before you submit the second draft.
