1 e-submission of Coursework Providing Feedback via Turnitin GradeMark 1. GradeMark Feedback Options In Turnitin GradeMark feedback can be provided using a combination of general/individual comments, comments banks (QuickMarks sets), and via standard marking criteria (rubrics). This guide will highlight how to provide feedback in the following ways: 1. Using predefined comments banks (QuickMark Sets), dragging and dropping them to appropriate points in the student work. 2. Typing individual comments on student work, using either a bubble comment or text comment. 3. Adding general comments and feedback for the entire paper. These comments are not added to the script but appear on the right of screen when the student accesses their feedback. 4. Using a standard marking criteria (rubric) to provide general feedback on a set of pre-defined marking criteria. Rubrics can be used to automatically calculate a grade if required. 2. Using QuickMark Sets Turnitin has a number of predefined QuickMark sets which can be used for annotating student work. Bespoke QuickMark sets can be created for use on individual modules or programmes. For further information on creating QuickMark sets see the guide on Creating QuickMark Sets in Turnitin GradeMark. To annotate coursework using QuickMarks, log into the appropriate Moodle course and click the Turnitin link. Open the Turnitin link and select the pencil icon for the student paper you wish to grade.

2 The Turnitin Document Viewer will open with the GradeMark tab displayed. You can access the Originality report for the submission by selecting the Originality tab. If the set of QuickMark comments you require is not available select the Change QuickMarks Set icon to select the appropriate set. The individual comments for the chosen QuickMark set will be displayed on the right of screen. To add these comments to the submission, click on them and move them to the appropriate location on the submitted work. Alternatively, you can highlight text on the right of screen, using the mouse, and then click on the appropriate comment. The comment will be attached to the highlighted text.

3 Annotating QuickMark Comments You can add additional comments to standard QuickMarks to embellish the feedback provided. Hover over the QuickMark and select Comment. Enter the required comment and select Save. 3. Adding Individual Comments If the QuickMarks do not have appropriate comments, bubble and text comments can be added to a submission to provide individualised feedback. Bubble Comments Select the bubble comment button from the top right of screen and click where you would like the comment to be added on the submission. Add the appropriate text comment and click Save. The comment will contract to a small blue square, hovering over the square will expand the comment. Saving Bubble Comments as QuickMarks If, having created a bubble comment, you think it would be useful to add it to a QuickMark set, it can be added directly into a QuickMark set. Click on the comment you have written and select More Options. The Save as QuickMark option will be displayed. Provide a title for the QuickMark, select the set you would like it to be saved in and click Save.
