ESSAY SUBMISSION
It is important that you submit your work both in paper format for your teacher to review and in a digital format (Turnitin). This is because we need to review the originality of your work in the printed Turnitin report.

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 through ‘turnitin.com’.
If your teacher thinks you have plagiarised in your assignment, you run the risk of being disqualified from the course. If this piece of work was submitted in Year 11 as part of your coursework to the exam board and they 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.
