Types of Assignments

All course requirements are paperless and submitted through ALICE. There are multiple ways for professors to require submissions from students. When you submit assignments online, the system will automatically acknowledge your submission with a message containing your submission receipt. Download this and keep it for your reference. 

Depending on the assignment instructions, some may allow you to submit multiple times. The system will automatically keep track of all your attempts.

Individual Assignments and Anonymity

This is the most common type of submission. A sample exercise is viewable in this Orientation Course. Individual submissions are usually in anonymous mode. As such, you should be aware of the following:

• Do not put your name in the contents of your file
• Do not put your name in the filename of your submission (e.g. Juan_dela_Cruz_Assignment#1.pdf)
• Use only the activity name as the name of your file (e.g. Assignment#1.pdf)

Group Submissions

Some submissions are group-based. Usually, you will be assigned to a Learning Team (LT), a common grouping used across most of your courses throughout the term. Not all group submissions use the LTs. If you find yourself in the wrong group or not in any group at all, please contact the program administrators.

For group submissions, only one member of the group needs to submit on behalf of the group. For formality, you can discuss who will be assigned to do this task, but any member of the group can submit.

Similarity Check through Turnitin®

Alternatively, you may be required to submit to a similarity-checking tool called Turnitin. Turnitin submissions have a noticeably different icon in a course like the one below:

Turnitin is fully integrated in ALICE. You do not need to maintain a separate account to use it. To understand your Turnitin Similarity Report, you may check out Understanding the Turnitin Similarity Report - A Student Guide.

⚠️Caution!

Plagiarism is a serious offense. Please refer to the AIM Student Handbook for details on disciplinary actions for academic misconduct. Consult with your professor on how they interpret similarity scores in your submissions.

There is no definitive similarity score that can fully determine if a paper is plagiarized. Each submission may have different requirements. Always consult with the professor to clarify their academic integrity rules. Read more about it in the PDF below.
