Your submission will be checked for similarity through Turnitin. This submission will not store your paper in the Turnitin repository. Therefore, this submission will not impact your similarity when you submit your Final Draft. The purpose of submitting this now to Turnitin is to review your similarity and make any necessary adjustments before you make your final submission. A Turnitin report will be made available to you upon submission. See the syllabus for more information on Turnitin in the section entitled, “Turnitin as a learning Tool.”
