D#7, HW#5 - Turnitin.com

Submitted WP#2 draft to turnitin.com and received a whoppin' 28%. Eeeeek! I'll be waiting to hear from the professor as to what happened there.

I also noticed the following for the 28%:
there were 4 hits for internet; 5 hits for publication; and 3 hits for student paper

I then clicked on exclude quotes and the percentage reduced to 12. I also clicked on exclude bibliography and still reached a 12%. I went from 12 hits to 10 hits. Two of the 10 hits were 3% each and the rest were 1% per each hit. I'm not sure why the percentage is still high. Hopefully, the professor can help answer that.

So what happened when you turned your paper in it showed up 28%? Wow I wonder why did you copy and paste the quotes you used in your paper? I know that does that some times. I had a 1% but no highlights, I hope this WP# 3 is better next time and shelly responds to you about what happened.
