your lecturers and tutors to detect instances of academic dishonesty. It is important to

lecturers and tutors. Turnitin is just one tool among several that assists them in making their
decision. You are required to submit your final copy of your assignment via turnitin prior to the
due date of the assignment. Students are also advised to keep the latest version of all submitted
assignments (soft-copy and hard copy) to prevent any loss of work through accidents or error.
