Assignments for this submission (as well as all future submissions) will be submitted to Turnitin. Turnitin is a third party web-based tool that compares your work for textual similarities with a database of thousands of academic sources, student papers and websites to produce an originality report which our teaching teams use to investigate possible plagiarism. This is a compulsory exercise to inform decisions on whether an assignment’s content is plagiarised. To enable this process through Turnitin, you will be required to accept the Turnitin End User License Agreement (“EULA”) upon submission of your first assignment. You will only be required to accept the EULA once for this submission and all future submissions on this online campus.
