PART 2: SUBMISSION
Your teacher will set up an assignment via Google Classroom where this will be submitted for marking. A hard copy of the Team Project writeup should be given to your teacher during the lesson if they have requested this.
A digital version of your Team Project must be submitted through Turnitin. This must be done before the submission deadline your teacher will go through the similarity report with you during the lesson. It is vital that this is done for two reasons as we need an electronic copy to submit to the exam board and we need to ensure that your work is your own.

Turnitin Help: How to register with the right class on Turnitin.com?
While we recognise that you may get inspiration from other sources for your work, you must ensure that all coursework is written in your own words. Even copying a phrase from some other place, be it the Internet, a book or another person’s work, is called plagiarism. It also includes excessive assistance from someone else, such as a tutor, classmate or relative. To help you recognise plagiarism (and avoid it!) your teachers will talk to you about it in class, and we ask all students to submit their work in hard copy and through ‘turnitin.com’.
If your teacher thinks you have plagiarised in your assignment, you run the risk of being disqualified from the course. If the exam board think you have plagiarised, their is a strong possibility you will be disqualified from ALL Cambridge IGCSE exams.
DO NOT risk it! If unsure about plagiarism, then always ask your teacher.
On each coursework cover sheet you are asked to sign a statement that the work submitted is your own. Your teacher must confidently be able to sign to confirm that the work is your own.

How to read a turnitin report.The report generated by Turnitin is simply the start of a conversation that should take place between yourself and your teacher. It is impossible to simply look at a figure and judge if your work is plagiarised, rather you should look at the report and the similarities that are presented, making a judgement for each area. Watch the video before looking at the examples below, trying to identify what issues each piece faces.
