Turnitin Assignment feedback guide

Grading Forms are simple rubrics that allow lecturers to provide free-form feedback and scores for students across a list of criteria. In comparison to Rubrics, feedback provided via Grading Form can be more individualised and discretionary. 

Create Grading Form

Guidance on how to create a Grading Form is covered in our Create Turnitin Assignment guide.

1. Once the assignment submission deadline has passed, select the link to the Turnitin Assignment on the module homepage.
2. This opens the Turnitin Submission Inbox. This page lists the key dates for the assignment and the student submissions.
3. You can use the filters alongside each of the headings to organise your Submission Inbox. Options include to organise by student name, Submission title or Similarity score.

1. Select the blue pencil icon in the Grade column for the student assignment that you want to grade. If the paper does not open, check that you have your pop-ups enabled. If the pop-ups are blocked initially you will need to click on the blue pencil again if accessing via Internet Explorer.

1. You can provide operational feedback and associate this with the rubric criterion. This help students identify how the feedback is relevant to the marking criteria.
   • Select the text on a student assignment where you want to provide operational feedback. 
   • Select the bubble icon to write a QuickMark comment.
   • Select Assign Criterion at the top of the QuickMark and select the associated criterion from the menu that opens. (These are the criteria available in the attached Grading Form).
2. Select the Feedback Summary icon on the grading layer to provide additional feedback around strengths and areas for development in the student's assignment.

1. From the Grading layer, select the rubric icon  to open the Grading Form side panel. 
2. To view the expanded Grading Form within another window, select the expand rubric icon to the right of Grading Form title.

The expanded Grading Form displays the criteria, to allow lecturers to easily make comments and grade the assignment.

3. Input your feedback against each of the criterion and add the mark for each criterion.
4. Select the Apply to Grade button at the bottom of the expanded Grading Form window to apply the score to the student's grade. 

   

5. Select Close to exit the expanded Grading Form.
6. Use the navigation arrows in the Feedback Studio, or use the navigation drop-down menu to select the assignment for a specific student to move through your marking.
