If you mark Turnitin assignments online, you may find this a better way to mark assignments. It requires time to create the rubric criteria but once you've set it up, it can be reused for other assignments in that module.
"Rubric scorecards can be used to evaluate student work based on defined criteria and scales. Rubrics effectively capture expectations for learning outcomes as well as shortcomings, enabling you to evaluate student work quickly and objectively. And, when rubrics are attached to your assignments in Turnitin, students have the benefit of seeing the rubrics and understanding your expectations in advance of completing their assignments." (Turnitn Academy, 2013)
In your module, click on the Turn editing on button (top right).
Go into the Turnitin assignment you've created after you've received at least one assignment.
Go into the Submissions inbox and click on Grade ('blue pencil' icon on the line of the assignment you wish to edit).
In the assignment click on the Rubric icon.
Once you have clicked on the Rubric icon, click on the Rubric/Form manager (cogwheel icon in the top right corner) to start creating a new rubric or attach a previously created rubric to the assignment
Start by setting up the criteria, considering criterion names and descriptions (what they're looking at) and their weighting (if all criteria are not equal). The criterion description is not necessary but can be helpful if you have multiple graders to ensure their understanding of the criteria associated with that criterion. Click directly on the boxes you would like to amend, this brings up a white text box. See example below:
Click on the empty space under each title to add a Description. It is a breakdown of what you are taking into consideration when marking the assignment.
Once you've decided on the criteria for the rubric you can easily set up the scale. Things to consider are the title and description (if used), and the marks to be allocated for each scale item. The description is not necessary but can be helpful if you have multiple graders to ensure their perspective of each scale item is the same. Again, click directly on the boxes you would like to amend, this brings up a white text box. See example below:
This determines the way you set up the rubric. The percentage set-up is the most commonly used. The different rubric scoring set-ups (left-right) are explained below:
Standard rubric
This set-up allows you to set the weighting in percent and enter marks for different scale items.
Custom rubric
This removes the ability to weight the criterion but allows you to set different marks for each scale description rather than a whole item e.g. the scale item 'Poor' could be worth 0 in terms of one criterion and worth 1 for another.
Qualitative rubric
This removes the ability to weight criterion and add marks to scale items. This is purely based on the feedback. This is helpful for assignments where no grade is required but feedback is essential e.g. in Nottingham Advantage Award modules.
Once you have created the rubric you need to add it to each assignment you mark.
Alternatively, you can attach your assignment to any rubric by going to your modules site, pressing Turn editing on and then press the edit link next to your Turnitin assignment and then pressing Edit Settings.
Inside the Turnitin assignment settings press the GradeMark Options title to expand the section and select the appropriate rubric in the drop-down menu.
This can only be done via www.turnitinuk.com
