Turnitin Overview
This is probably the most convenient website you’ll use. It’s like Aeries’ high-achieving cousin. This is where most of the outlines, essays, and book reports will come in, and where you’ll be able to grade assignments using digital rubrics and automatic comments. Below is the homepage once you sign in to http://turnitin.com/.
For the 2016-17 school year, you’ll be using the class labelled AP World History 2016-17 to create the assignment “turn in” inboxes for all AP classes to submit their work online. You won’t find actual assignments from students under that link. You’ll only see a list of the assignment inboxes you have created, since it’s just a “master class.” Whatever new assignment inboxes you create will flow down to the actual, specific classes: Period 4 and Period 6. Those links are where you can view the documents students have turned in and grade them.

This is what a typical class home page, Period 4 or Period 6, will look like.
When you click the View button on an assignment, you’ll see a list of documents submitted by students. There will be a blue pencil icon if it’s not graded, and scores if you finished grading them. Use the light gray bar at the top of the document list to sort assignments by name, similarity (AKA plagiarism percentage), grade, date turned in, etc.
