Submitting Assessed Work

Standard practice is that all written assignments are submitted online via Turnitin.

There may be instances where you have to submit in another format or submit a paper copy too (you will be informed of this by your tutor) and notified via the assessment rubric when this is the case.

When your assignment is marked, you can expect to receive comments on the following: your general performance in the assignment; presentation and style; areas to improve.

Important Information for Electronic Submission

Students MUST include their registration number in the "Submission title" box in Turnitin.

Please note, essays that are uploaded without the Registration Number at the beginning of the Title will be DELETED and you will be asked to re-submit using the correct procedure, you could incur LATENESS penalties if you do not follow the correct procedure.

Any coursework that is submitted after the stated deadline then the whole assignment will be considered to be late and will be penalised accordingly.

Students must obtain a receipt for Turnitin submissions. Turnitin will email a receipt to the student shortly after submission. Save this somewhere safe!

Unless otherwise stated, submission times will be 12 noon on the day of the deadline.

Students with Specific Learning Differences i.e. Dyslexia who would normally use the 'yellow stickers' to advise markers of their diagnosis, should include 'SpLD' in the 'submission title' box in Turnitin AFTER their registration number.


Students should keep copies of all their work submitted for assessment for the duration of the degree.

Important Information for Postal Submission

In the event of work being submitted by post it is the student's responsibility to make sure that it reaches the relevant programme office BEFORE the deadline. Essays received by post are dated when they arrive in the relevant office, not by postmark, so the use of Special Delivery is therefore recommended.

Technical Difficulties

If you have any technical difficulties with your submission, you must email philosophy@sheffield.ac.uk quoting the module name and code (e.g. PHI212 Philosophy of the Arts).

IMPORTANT

Computer problems will not be accepted as an excuse for missing a deadline so make sure you back up your work regularly!
