  Here are the instructions:
• • Go to the website eCampus.tamu.edu
  • Get into your course (the same as you would normally do to access the lecture quizzes)
  • Click the TurnItIn link and continue to the paper you are submitting for
  • Click "Submit paper"
  • Fill out the form it brings up and select what file to upload (submitting .pdf files is preferred over .doc files). Your paper must be in MS Word, WordPerfect, PostScript, PDF, HTML, or Plain Text format in order to be submitted.
  • Finally in the upper corner click the Submit button. This will bring you to a confirmation page. Once you are certain you want to submit this paper click Yes, Submit
  • Make sure you get a receipt for your submission. That is how you will tell if it went in correctly
  • Once submitted, TurnItIn will evaluate your paper and after a short period of time (this time will vary depending on internet traffic) you will be able to view your originality report for your submission
  • If your originality report for your submission is a very low number (<5%) you are done and we can grade your paper. If it is not, your paper will be considered further for evidence of plagiarism. You can avoid this problem by fixing your report and resubmitting. I will only consider your last submission.
