Dates on a Turnitin Dropbox 

When a folder is initially created, instructors are given the ability to put in dates for the Dropbox within MyCourses. When creating a Turnitin assignment MyCourses will help provide dates to Turnitin by setting default dates in the background. MyCourses is not required to send dates, but since Turnitin relies on them, something must be supplied in place of a ‘null’ value. So, the big question is, how does MyCourses handle the date defaults when no dates are supplied?
