Turnitin.com is a paid service that NJIT provides for faculty members and instructors, only.
It allows faculty to check student work for possible plagiarism.
In order to use it, faculty must have an account & be authenticated by a NJIT Turnitin Administrator.
The account can be created by calling the NJIT Helpdesk.
When you have been confirmed as an NJIT faculty member and have been entered into the NJIT account, you can log in to the Turnitin website.
TOPICS COVERED BELOW:
Logging In To Your Account
The login page for the new site has been simplified .
You now enter your email address and password and do not need to select a user type.
The new system stores your preferred user type in your user profile.
If you have more than one user type (for example, if you are a student and an instructor),
you can switch user types with the change user type function once you are logged into the program.
If you would like to change your default user type, click user info on the system bar.
You can select a preferred user type in the user preferences section of your profile.
Once logged in, click user type at the top of the screen to change user types.
Click user info to open your user profile. From your profile, you can make changes to your user preferences and change your password.
Your Class Homepage
A significant change to the new version of Turnitin is the addition of a class homepage.
Previously, clicking on a class opened your class inbox, which contained papers submitted to your class.
Now, clicking on a class opens your class homepage .
The class homepage is essentially a list of all your assignments and serves as a master page for your class.
From the class homepage, you can create assignments, submit papers, and access your inbox.
You must create at least one class and one assignment within your inbox to submit any papers.
We recommend you establish a Turnitin "class" for each of the NJIT classes you teach. In the long run, your
Turnitin account will be better organized.
Creating Assignments
Remember, each class you create must have at least one assignment in order to submit papers.
We recommend that you create a new assignment for each actual assignment in order to organize your report inbox.
Submitting Papers Yourself
Use the pull-down on the paper submission page to choose a submission type (file upload, cut and paste, bulk upload or the new zip file upload method)
Assignment Inbox
Each assignment has an inbox containing papers submitted to that assignment.
Click the inbox button next to an assignment to open an assignment’s inbox.
From the assignment inbox, you can read papers and view the Originality Reports.
Click the inbox button next to an assignment to view the total submissions for that assignment.
Forgot Your Password?
Select password help at the log in screen
and you will be able to enter your registered e-mail address (which is also your log in "name" and should be your preferred @njit.edu address)
The window to reset your password is only 60 minutes from the time you receive their auto-reply mail.
