The foyer to the Giblin Eunson Library does, although I wouldn't really call that CBD.

They'll be posted in due course on their respective LMS pages (Intro Micro doesn't have one though).

That feel when word limit is 1,100 words but wrote 1,500. Now i'm trying to condense my essay but it's so difficult trying to work out which parts should be taken out and shortened.

Trying to submit my accounting assignment via turnitin... we were specified to scan and upload but the system seems to be preventing that by saying "please make sure the file has selectable text rather than scanned images". has anyone got this same message and got past it somehow?

Did you just scan the cover sheet?  If worse comes to worst maybe try running OCR on it. Even if it comes out as gibberish it should go through :P

I scanned the whole assignment. Other people are having the same problem too. The solution posted on online tutor just says to "rescan and submit again"...but i've done that so many times now :/

edit: tried OCR. It only recognises the cover sheet, but not the other sheets i scanned. also the cover sheet is partially in gibberish when converted to word format....

thats weird they asked you to scan and upload an assignment. they generally have to be selectable text so that they can detect plagiarism

hope you guys figure it out

finally worked for me! turns out i had to rotate pages so that they were all landscape.... this makes it hard to read since some pages are the other way around, but at least it submitted. A few of my friends are still having problems submitting tho

any past Acc maths students:
how are we supposed to write out stuff in written assigments?; not sure what the layout is like and how much working/explanation we should show
does anyone have any examples of responses?
also, what is the marking criteria?

Is 17% similarity for turnitin bad? And its saying most of the similarity is due to the references...

Normally, 17% would be considered quite high (in fact, I'd say anything over 10% is at risk of being penalised/not accepted) - but I think Turnitin similarity checks are usually conducted without references included. The reason being that the references will obviously get picked up by the check (after all, the reference will appear in the original paper and any paper that cites it), but this is obviously not a case of plagiarism, as you are doing the right thing by citing your sources!

So I would first double-check what is required. It may be the case that your Turnitin similarity report isn't meant to include your references. If so, maybe submit your document without references for a new Turnitin check, and see what similarity percentage you get. If the references are meant to be included, perhaps consult your tutor/lecturer and see what they say.
