Turnitin is plagiarism software, which will identify if you have copied information and included it in your assessment.

Engaging someone else to write any part of your assessment for you outside of the group work arrangement is classified as misconduct. To avoid being charged with Misconduct, students need to submit their own work and apply Harvard Style Referencing (ask your lecturer or the learning support coordinator (support@aih.nsw.edu.au) if you do not know what this means, or you need assistance applying it).
