Turnitin Late Submission Hack
Has anybody used this service to bypass Turnitin? Englishman 1. It is designed as a service for students to check their own work for plagiarism before they submit it. Submitting a Paper To submit a paper to an assignment on Turnitin, the user must log in and upload a file to an existing assignment. Assignments in Turnitin cannot accept student submissions until the assignment start date and time has passed. Lecturers must review the Originality Report generated by Turnitin for submissions to an assignment, and perhaps use other measures in order to determine if.
Are students taking advantage of me?
Sorry For The Late Submission
I have students submit written assignments to Blackboard. This semester I've had more than a few instances of students posting assignments in '.pages' format, posting a document that doesn't open in Blackboard for some reason, or posting a blank page. I haven't seen this happen in previous semesters so I've assumed that it's an honest mistake and I've sent an email to the student asking him/her to repost in a format that is readable in Blackboard (like .docx). I have a firm deadline for assignments and don't accept assignments late. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm being played by some of the students. Perhaps the thinking goes - I don't have my work done, I'll submit some crap format that he can't read, and then Dr. Pushover will send me an email that will give me more time to get it done. Is this a ploy that I've been too naive to catch on to until now? Do others have this problem?
Late Submission
Edit: consensus seems to be that students may be playing me and that I should have a policy in the syllabus - perhaps pdf only - and then deduct points or don't accept it if it's not correct. Thanks!!
