Turnitin Assignment Activity
Navigating the Turnitin assignment activity
Click on a Turnitin assignment activity 
on your course. This will redirect you to the Turnitin assignment Submission Inbox.
Here, you can switch to different parts of the assignment (depending on your teacher’s settings). Each assignment part contains a title, description, start, due, and post date, and marks available. You will also submit your assignment here (if you have not yet submitted your work) and see the details of your submitted assignment (if you already submitted one). If the activity contains different parts, you will be required to submit your work to each part.
