Papers should be submitted through Turnitin in Blackboard as a Word document (see link above). Papers with originality reports of 15% or more will be flagged for inspection for academic dishonesty.
You can submit your paper to Turnitin before the due date and more than once to verify what your originality score is. Note however that Turnitin allows only one submission per 24 hours, so make sure that you plan accordingly. See this document for information on how to submit your paper and view the originality report: Blackboard-Learn-9.1-SP-11-Responding-to-a-Turnitin-Assignment-Student-Instructions-edit.pdf
I strongly recommend that you use Turnitin as a tool to check your work. Submit your close to final draft to Turnitin. This will give you time to make revisions to your paper, for instance, by ensuring that you have properly paraphrased source material.
This assignment is worth 30% of your final grade in the course.
