Instructions for handing in essays for
PHIL 140 / 142, Arts & Ideas, and Modern Aesthetic Theory
PHIL 227 / 322, Philosophy of Art
In order to submit your essay to turnitin.com, you will need to create a so-called user profile. You may do this my going to www.turnitin.com and then clicking on New Users. You will need to enter your email address, the class ID, an enrollment password, your religion, and who you voted for in the last election. No, no, just joking! All you need is:
PHIL 140 / 142: ID is 2464575, password is “plato”
PHIL 227: ID is 2464574, password is “plato”An Adobe PDF version of the complete instructions is available here. However, it seems that registering with Tunitin is about as hard as ordering a book from Amazon. I know that doing something like this without first reading the instructions is a guy thing — but give it a go.
Once you have submitted your essay to Turnitin, print out a double-spaced copy and leave it in the Philosophy Department (there is a box for essays) on the 6th floor of the History Building. The PHIL 140 / 142 and the PHIL 227 / 322 essays are due at 5.00 PM, Tuesday, October 28th, 2008.
If for some reason the whole Turnitin procedure leaves you flummoxed, you may email your essay directly to me at denis.dutton@canterbury.ac.nz. You still have to give us a paper version. I would prefer that you give this a serious try, perhaps with the help of a classmate who did it successfully, before you resort to sending the essay directly to me.
And if you were thinking that you might give Turnitin a slightly different essay than the printout you hand us: do not consider it! The Turnitin system is not that stupid.
Good luck with your essay.
