We will be utilizing www.turnitin.com this year to form an online writing folder for each of you, and to prevent accidental plagiarism (and its evil cousin, intentional/desperate plagiarism). Some of you may already have an account on this website, but you will still need to register for one of the following classes on the website by Friday, August 27, to earn five points. (Notably, AP students who don't register in time not only lose the five points, but also get a late grade on their first focus paper, and nobody wants that!)
The instructions are fairly simple; if you find that you can't enroll for whatever reason, see me before Thursday and I will do it for you with no penalty. (Waiting until Friday is just futile.)
If you are in AP Lit and Comp, Hilley, you need to go to www.turnitin.com to register:
Course Number: 3402309
Password: Classof2011
(You will then make your own password.)
If you are in Gifted English II, Hilley, you need to go to www.turnitin.com to register:
Course Number: 3402315
Password: Classof2013
(You will then make your own password.)
For both groups: Please use the e-mail address you check most frequently, since I send mass e-mails reminding you of announcements, assignments, and deadlines through this forum. Thank you and if you have any questions, leave a comment here or e-mail me at jennifer.hilley@ocps.net.
