This article will explain how you can assess Turnitin Assignments with Feedback Studio. You have the option to assess with both a grade and inline feedback or just one of both.
If you are interested in using Feedback Studio outside of Brightspace, you can read Turnitin's guide.
Please take into account that simultaneous assessment with multiple markers is not possible. If you want to grade assignments with other colleagues, please make sure you do not evaluate the same student at the same time. Your evaluation of a submission might be overruled by your colleagues when you grade the same student. This also applies for grading in Feedback Studio.
Please see here for more information.
If there are Track Changes from MS Word in the uploaded file, the text will not be shown correctly, and the Similarity Check will also not work properly!
Curious where students will see their grade and/or inline feedback for their Turnitin Assignment? By default they will be able to see their grade and/or feedback under Course Tools > Assignments. But they also might see it under Grades or don't see anything at all, if you have set certain restrictions.
Please see this article for extensive information on how to control when and what grades and feedback students can see.
