IMPORTANT: Turnitin has become the part of the ecollege. Every time student turns in any assignment in the dropbox in college. It would be automatically evaluated

by Turnitin. WARNING: Turnitin.com DOES check to see if any part of the document is copied from any other document in their files…published or unpublished. Because

of the nature of the assignments, some duplication is acceptable and even expected…such as the repetition of titles, names and specific questions and quotations.

Within 24 hours of submission, you should be able to check for your report detailing what percentage of your paper has been previously submitted. This is an exam

therefore, I will not be accepting any revisions if the turnitin percentage is higher. I want you to be careful while writing your response. Anything over 25% will

result in automatic point deductions, but anything (no matter what % turnitin.com shows) that does not follow acceptable documentation and citation practices will

result in grade deductions or worse. I will be taking the decision on case to case basis. Correct sentence structure, grammar and spelling are expected on all written

assignments submitted for a grade. For additional help with written assignments, please contact the Online Writing Lab at http://web.tamu-
