Student Turnitin Submission

Click on the link Student User Manual for information on submitting a Turnitin assignment in Moodle. Once you have accessed the file, you may save a copy on your computer.

Viewing Your Originality Report in Turnitin

After you have posted your paper to Turnitin via Moodle, it will take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to compare it with papers in other databases. Follow the instructions given below to access your originality report:

1.) Click on the Assignment link in Moodle that you submitted the Turnitin paper.

2.) Click on the "Submit" link which will re-direct you to Turnitin.

3.) Under "Originality report" click on the icon that shows a percentage of how similar your paper is to what is found on the web or in other student papers.

4.) A pop up window will open that will show the similarity index and the source to the right. To the left of the paper will be the paper you submitted to Turnitin. When you click on the numbers within the similarity index next to the source it will take you to the section where that link is located on your paper to the left.

Plagiarism Tutorial

Shawna Hellenius, L.A. Library Director, and Sherry Youssef, Research & Instruction Librarian in L.A., have created a tutorial about plagiarism – what it is, what it isn’t, and most importantly, how to avoid it.

Any Alliant user can join the class by clicking on the following link: http://elearning.alliant.edu/course/view.php?id=21279. Once you click on the link you will be asked to login to Moodle and then you will be asked if you would like to add the course. After you select “yes,” you’ll be ready to begin.


Principles of Paraphrasing

Principles of Paraphrasing: How to Avoid Inadvertent Plagiarism http://isites.harvard.edu/paraphrasing, an online tutorial developed at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) to teach the principles of paraphrasing.

The tutorial addresses paraphrasing in three modules: Defining paraphrasing; Rules for quoting, summarizing, and paraphrasing; and Tips and strategies for successful paraphrasing.

The tutorial includes a self-check worksheet that gives tutorial users an opportunity to paraphrase texts by HGSE faculty and provides an answer key that allows them to compare their paraphrases to our suggested ones.
