Directions on Submitting Papers Online

To submit your research paper electronically, you will need to use  the UF "Turnitin" Program. Please remember that you will also need to turn in a hard copy in class that same day. The electronic submission is due by midnight on Tuesday.

There are directions on accessing the program at http://www.turnitin.com/static/pdf/tii_student_qs.pdf

To recap:
  1. To access the program, go to www.turnitin.com.
  2. If you've used the program before, enter your user id (your UF email) and your Turnitin password. This will take you to a page where you will see other courses you may have registered for. Click on the "Enroll in a Class" tab and then enter the Class ID and password. The class ID is 3662920 and the password is israel.  When you hit "submit," you will go to a page which shows you enrolled in "cpo4000" Click on that and it will take you to the page where you can upload your paper.
  3. If you've never used the program, click on the "New User" button in the upper right. This will walk you through the process of registering.
  4. For the first step, select "student" as new user type and hit the "next" button.
  5. This will take you to course enrollment page. In the email, I provided you with the Class ID and the password. Enter them as indicated and then hit "next".
  6. The next page will ask for your email address which will become your User ID for Turnitin. Hit "next."
  7. Create your personal password. This will enable you--and only you--to access your grade once it is posted. Hit "next".
  8. Select a secret question, put in the answer, and hit "next". (This will help you if you forget your personal password.)
  9. You're then asked to enter your first and last name. Do so and hit "next."
  10. You must then agree with the User Agreement. This gives me 10% of your future earnings. I deserve it. Hit "next."
  11. This finally brings you to the finish. Tell it to close the Wizard and it will take you to the class page from which you can find the Assignment and upload your paper. Click on "Israeli Politics 2008" and then on the Research Paper assignment. When you click on "submit," you will be guided through the process of submitting your paper.
  12. You have to enter a paper title AND tell the system where to find the file you want to upload. Once the file is uploaded, make sure and print out your receipt and keep the email receipt they will send you. This is proof that your paper was submitted on time.
  13. Even with the receipt, it takes some time for the paper to show up so don't panic. Eventually, your paper will show up by title in the assignment list. You can click on the title to see your paper or download a copy by clicking on the link in the "contents" column.
I strongly urge you to look at this site now.You want to be sure that you are registered and can navigate it before the last minute. You'll also find some useful information on how to avoid inadvertent plagiarism. Be warned.
