I know some of you have been asking 'What Is Turnitin?' - It's on your Contextual Studies brief as something to which you must submit your written assignment.  For those of you not familiar with the 'UCA way of doing things', this all must seem rather mysterious.  Worry not - this handy video will tell you everything you need to know about Turnitin and why it's used, and why we're so keen that you always reference your quotes according to academic conventions.  As of writing, the Turnitin option for the submission of your written assignments hasn't gone live yet, so do not worry if you can't find it yet.  It will appear as an option in the Contextual Studies unit on myUCA in good time prior to your timetabled hand-in.  Use your social networks to ensure everyone has seen this. Many thanks. Submitting your work to Turnitin from TEL at UCA on Vimeo .
