Creating Grading Forms

Turnitin Grading Forms are simple rubrics that allow an instructor to give free-form feedback (and, optionally, scores) against a predefined set of criteria. They can be created and managed in the rubric manager, accessed via Turnitin Settings or the rubric panel in the Feedback Studio.
