1 e-submission of Coursework s In Turnitin GradeMark 1. Introduction to s Within Turnitin GradeMark, rubrics can be created to enable student work to be marked against standard assessment criteria/marking descriptor matrix. Turnitin GradeMark allows the creation of three types of rubric. Type Standard Custom Qualitative Description The standard rubric allows you to select a number or criteria they wish to evaluate and give each criterion a percentage weighting e.g. Knowledge (30%), Understanding (30%), Application (30%) and Referencing (10%) The user then decides on the scale of correctness and the relative value of the criteria e.g. Excellent (4), Good (3), Satisfactory (2), and Poor (1). The rubric can be used to automatically provide a grade, calculating the criteria percentages and chosen scale point. The custom rubric allows you to assign a point value to each criterion and distribute those points across the scale of correctness. Each criterion/scale option can have an individual numerical input. The rubric can be used to automatically provide a grade. The maximum value for the Custom rubric will be the sum of the highest value entered in each of the criteria rows. The qualitative rubric allows users to create a criterion/scale based rubric as above, but not based on any numerical input. Feedback is provided for students, but a separate grade can be added. 2.
