Turnitin.com Instructions!

Remember, you may only submit your essay once to turnitin.com! Also, make sure you upload all essays in .doc format - use Microsoft Word! If you're using Word 2007, remember to save your final draft in .doc format instead of the default, which is the .docx format, so I can read them. DO NOT UPLOAD A FILE IN ANY OTHER FORMAT AND DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE TEXT INTO THE TURNITIN.COM FIELD!
