Assignment Troubleshooting Guide

  •  Filename           Filename                         < 40 characters              Filename should have no more than 40 characters (you may get an error message if filename is too long: it will be "XML Response could not be parsed")  Check the assignment instructions as there is often a prescribed filename format
  •  Filename          No  Filename                         No non-alphanumeric    Filename must not contain unrecognizable (non-alphanumeric) characters in the submission title, such as & , . ( ) % # ” / \ – { } [ ] < > : ; @.   

                                                                         (Check there are no extra full stops other than the one before the three-letter file extension) An underscore is acceptable

  •  Filename          No  Filename                         No letter spaces             Must not contain spaces between     e v e r y   l e t t e r
  •  File size             see size                           see table above
  •  No. of pages     < pages                  Maximum is 400
  •  Typed words    words                  see table above
  •  Headers            Avoid   Headers                         Avoid                             There have been reports that headers have prevented students from being able to submit their assignment. If your submission is not initially accepted please remove the headers and try submitting again.
  •  Columns            Columns                        Keep to one  one column                   If at all possible, keep to ONE column of text per page
  •  Title of file        Keep file                     Keep it short                   When adding a title please keep it relatively short as long titles affect the rendering size of files downloaded from Turnitin such as feedback
  •  Track Changes  Turn              Turn off                         Accept or reject all changes/edits in your document and switch off Track Changes before submitting it (if you don't do this, Turnitin will match everything in the deleted and formatted text, thus falsely inflating the similarity index
  •  File type           See type                         See List                         Must be one of the file types listed below left. Turnitin may ‘accept’ other filetypes, but they do not generate a similarity report, nor can they be marked by GradeMark, so please stick to the filetypes listed above. PDF is recommended.                                                                                        For Moodle Assignments please follow the instructions you are given in your assignment. 
  •  Alignment - do Alignment                     Do not use fully justified
