• You must submit your first and final drafts to the plagiarism prevention service Turnitin. Turnitin will produce an Originality Report in minutes highlighting matching or unoriginal text in your paper.
• You should analyze the feedback from the Originality Report to make sure that your paper is your original work and that all quoted, paraphrased or summarized text is cited properly.
• If the Originality Report for your first draft shows a high percentage of matching text, you should edit your first draft and resubmit your final paper with more original content and proper citations for all quoted, paraphrased, and summarized text. Make sure you submit your paper under a new assignment for revisions set up by your teacher.
