Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 24 June 2020, 8:39 AM)Submission Deadline: My submission deadline is at 16:00. How late can I submit my assignment on Turnitin? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: Submissions of assignments just a few minutes before the deadline can be a risky issue. This is because it can take a few minutes before the system registers your uploaded work. Therefore, the student must always upload all assignments with sufficient time left in order for the work to be stamped in time. Submitting with sufficient time will also allow the student to correct any mistakes in the assignment. Consigning submissions at least 24 hours before the actual deadline may be a safe measure and can prevent any last-minute stress or failure of submissions. Note:For any technical reason for non-submission or failure to upload assignments, please contact your teacher and healpdesk@wittenborg.eu. | ||||
