So for one of my classes (Philosophy) it says: " Students will be expected to submit their work electronically to Turnitin.com via Avenue to Learn. "

Then right after it says "You must submit your essays electronically, using the “Dropbox” tool on Avenue to Learn. Please make sure that you choose the correct folder for your tutorial group."

I could never find this Turnitin.com link in avenue. But I was able to find the drop box and submit my essay through that on avenue. I'm just confused if they are different things or not. Am I supposed to be sumitting them in two different places? Or is the dropbox in avenue connected to Turnitin.com

I emailed my prof but in the past he has taken a few days to respond and I'm losing 5% per day if I did this wrong so I really want to clear this up.

You're fine - the dropbox is/should be connected to turnitin.com.
