4.      Do NOT rewrite the questions in your assignment. Answer each question under a sub heading consisting of only the question number.
5.      An assignment which has a Turnitin Originality Report which shows a text match of more than 10% will not be accepted. A required objective of this unit is that you learn how to use Turnitin to improve your referencing and academic writing to the required academic standard. Your assignment will not be marked until it is complete which includes part 9 of this assignment.
6.      It is your responsibility to review the Turnitin Originality Report and remove text matches so that your assignment conforms to the required academic writing standard by the due date. You remove text matches by strictly following the instructions above (especially instruction 3); paraphrasing; and/or restating text matches in your own original words.

7.      If you require an extra 48 hours after the due date to remove text matches this can be requested by email to the Unit Assessor. However you can NOT add new material to your assignment after the due date as you are only able to remove text matches.
8.      Do NOT recycle an assignment used previously in this or any other unit.
