This is the simplest type of assignment and most of the defaults can be safely accepted. You should find that the assignment is already set up to work with a simple 1-100 scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must pay particular attention to your opening, closing and post dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discourage the students from using graphics at the beginning of the document. Turnitin is designed for processing essays. Turnitin may fail to process a document with elaborate graphics at the beginning as it will not be recognised as a textual document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
University software does not recognise the .pages format. Valid formats for student essays are .doc, .docx, .rtf, .odt, .pdf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
