How to view your grade and feedback in Turnitin

This is how a student views their grade and feedback in Turnitin's Feedback Studio

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

NOTE: The students are responsible for ensuring that they download your feedback as noted below. We do not guarantee that we can supply it after the end of the academic year.

How to view grade and feedback

Click on the Turnitin assignment submission box.

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.

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 further detailed feedback (this is often in a format called a rubric or grading form, if your marker 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 (See View detailed feedback below).

Comments are also shown inline in the paper.

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