Use 'Miscellaneous "turn-it-in" -ing' for your initial attempts to prevent overly long queues for the Originaly report

'Print Screen' the results of the Originality Report and submit as part of your Thesis 3 portfolio.

Acceptable Turn-it-in Results are:

less than 10% (<10%) for the entire document
2% or less for individual documents cited

Kindly consult the Thesis Coordinator if you are encountering difficulties to attain these stringent requirements.
