Do:

• allow at least 24 hours before your assignment deadline to make your first submission.
• allow 24 hours for a similarity score to be returned from the Turnitin website for re-submissions.
• limit the length of the filename for your assignment to a maximum of 60 characters.
• use the referencing check on the WIT libraries page in Moodle if you do wish to submit to the Turnitin repository just yet.
• enable pop-ups in your internet browser for the Turnitin website to ensure the best level of functionality.
• restrict your submission to one of the following acceptable filetypes:
  • Microsoft Word® (.doc / .docx)*
  • OpenOffice Text (.odt)**
  • Google Docs via Google Drive™
  • WordPerfect®  (.wpd)
  • PostScript (.ps/.eps)
  • Adobe® PDF
  • Microsoft PowerPoint® (.pptx, .ppt, .ppsx, and .pps)***
  • Microsoft Excel® (.xls and .xlsx)****
  • HTML Rich text format (.rtf)
  • Plain text (.txt)
  • Hangul Word Processor file (.hwp)

Do not:

• submit files of the following type:
  • Microsoft® Works (.wps) file types
  • Apple Pages file types
  • Spreadsheets created outside of Microsoft Excel (i.e. .ods).
  • PDF files of images, or PDF files which do not contain highlightable text (i.e a "scanned" file, which is often simply a picture of text, is unacceptable)
• worry if your similarity score is still pending. Your submission has been accepted within the timeframe set down by the lecturer so even if your similarity score is not returned immediately it will not be penalised as a late submission.
• use a shared email account in your Moodle profile. If you do, both you and your friend will receive a 100% similarity score from Turnitin for any assignments that you submit.
• leave your submission to the last minute as a technical error online could work against you.
• hesitate to call the Moodle helpdesk at 051-834114 or email moodle@wit.ie to get further assistance.
• Don't try to upload a document that contains just scanned inages/s - if you are required to upload a scanned document please make sure you include some text with the scanned images (more than 20 words
