Turnitin assignments - viewing your grades and feedback

Once your lecturer has marked your assignment in Turnitin and released the grades and feedback (this happens once the Post Date has passed), you will be able to view both. 

How to view grade and feedback

1) Click on the Turnitin assignment submission box.

2) This will load the Turnitin assignment page. At the bottom you will see your assignment details and within the Grade column your grade will appear. 

To see what feedback the marker has given you click on the blue pencil icon. 

3) A new browser tab will open and load up Feedback Studio which will contain your assignment and the feedback. You may see comments written on your assignment

The general feedback and rubric or grading form (if your assignment uses one) is in the ‘Instructor Feedback’ panel to the right of the screen (highlighted in red in the image below).

To view comments entered into a rubric or grading form  you need to click on the 'View Rubric' button. 

Comments are also shown inline in the paper.

Below this image is a breakdown of each button in the menu.

The layer icon above this lets you toggle the comments on or off. Open Similarity Layer. For more information see viewing your Turnitin originality report.

Comments written on the assignment

If the marker has provided any comments directly on screen they will appear as a speech bubble icon on your assignment.

View detailed feedback

If the marker has provided more detailed feedback they may have used a rubric - to see this you can click on the 'View Rubric' button in the ‘Instructor Feedback’ panel. 

A pop-up window will load displaying the rubric with your feedback.

The screenshot below shows how this will look if the marker has provided feedback in a format called grading form (e.g., for the Faculty of Arts).

The screenshot below shows how this will look if the marker has used the format called rubric. The light blue boxes indicate the marker’s assessment of how well you have met each criterion. 

How to download your assignment with feedback in PDF

At the bottom of the menu bar, you will see two GREY icons,

Click the first one - the down arrow.

NOTE: The second gives submission details including the Submission ID, date and time of submission, when it was graded and the word count.
