Subject: MATH 163 - Bowers [SP16]: Math 163 History Paper Date: May 23, 2016 at 10:51:05 AM PDT As of today (Monday, May 23), you may submit your History Paper. This will be done using the Turnitin system (via TritonEd). You have until Friday, May 27 at 5:00 pm to submit your paper. If you submit your paper and then later wish to resubmit a new version, you may do so until the due date. NOTE: If your paper is submitted late, a penalty in the form of a 5% grade deduction will be applied for each day after the deadline. (This penalty will be applied only to the paper itself, not to your final course grade.) UPLOAD REQUIREMENTS 1. Only one person from the group should submit the paper. (If more than one person submits the paper, Turnitin will think you are plagiarizing each other.) 2. All group members must be listed on the cover of the paper. Include names and PIDs. Put an asterisk (*) next to the name of the person submitting the paper. 3. The paper must be submitted as either an MS Word document or a PDF. (Those are the only two formats Turnitin will accept.) HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR PAPER 1. Log into TritonEd and click on the Math 163 link. 2. Click on "Content". The first item listed should be called "History Paper". Click on "View/Complete". This will take you to Turnitin. There is only one assignment listed there: "History Paper". 3. Click the "Submit" the button to go to the submission page. Then enter a title in the box "Submission title", select "Choose from this computer", choose the file that you want to submit, and select "Open". 4. Click the "Upload" button to upload the file, then click "Confirm" to finalize your submission. NOTE: Make sure to get confirmation that your paper was submitted. If you do not get confirmation that your paper was submitted, then it likely was not submitted. 5. If you submit the wrong file by mistake, you may remove that submission and resubmit a new paper, any time before the deadline, by clicking the "Resubmit" button.
