Can I check my assignment in Turnitin before I submit it to my lecturer?

The simple answer is 'Yes, you can'. SETU libraries have set up a Turnitin referencing check within Moodle where you can submit your assignment for a similarity score before submitting it to your lecturer. This will not affect your similarity score for the subsequent submission to your lecturer.

Open the WIT Libraries Information Area in Moodle

You should select the SETU Libraries option in the Information area drop down list on your Moodle homepage.
 

Go to the Turnitin Referencing Check

Once you have opened the SETU Libraries information area you should navigate to the Referencing Your Work section. You will see the Turnitin Referencing Check here.

Submit your assignment to Turnitin for checking

Click on the Referencing Check to open it. Use the green upload arrow to submit your assignment. Your similarity score should return within one to two hours. You can resubmit further versions of your assignment to Turnitin on this page until your similarity score has reduced to an acceptable level (usually agreed by your lecturer). You can now submit your assignment to your lecturer on their module page according to their instructions.

Additional support resources on using Turnitin are available here.
