Notes
There are several options for dealing with physical submissions, depending on the nature of the work being assessed, and markers’ preferred feedback tools. For example, in a School which primarily uses Turnitin to provide feedback, it makes sense to use Turnitin also for physical submissions.
Turnitin assignment – anonymous submission:
- Programme administrator creates a Turnitin assignment.
- Student submits a digital submission sheet to Turnitin to obtain a Paper ID.
- Student adds the Paper ID to the physical hand-in coversheet.
- Student attaches the coversheet to the Physical entity prior to manual submission at Support Centre.
- Feedback is provided via Turnitin – markers use the Paper ID to match physical and electronic submissions.
Turnitin assignment – named submission:
- Programme administrator creates a Turnitin assignment.
- No online submission is required by the student.
- Student adds their name and student ID to the paper coversheet, and attaches this to the physical entity prior to manual submission at Support Centre.
- Feedback is provided via Turnitin.
Blackboard assignment – anonymous submission
- Programme administrator creates a Blackboard assignment.
- Student submits a digital submission sheet to Blackboard to obtain a Submission receipt number.
- Student adds their Submission receipt number to the physical hand-in coversheet.
- Student attaches the coversheet to the Physical entity prior to manual submission at Support Centre.
- Feedback can be provided via Blackboard – markers use the Submission receipt number to match physical and electronic submissions.
Blackboard assignment – named submission
- Programme administrator creates a Blackboard assignment and ticks ‘Collect submissions offline’.
- No online submission is required by the student.
- Student adds their name and student ID to the paper coversheet, and attaches this to the physical entity prior to manual submission at Support Centre.
- Feedback is provided via the Blackboard assignment.
Blackboard Gradebook column – anonymous submission
- Programme administrator creates a column in the Blackboard Gradebook.
- Student submits a digital submission sheet to Blackboard to obtain a Submission receipt number.
- Student adds their Submission receipt number to the physical hand-in coversheet.
- Student attaches the coversheet to the Physical entity prior to manual submission at Support Centre.
- Feedback can be provided on paper (for instance, entered directly onto a Maths hard copy submission). When marking is complete, the name on the physical coversheet can be revealed, allowing marks to be entered into the Grade Centre column.
Late penalties:
To track late submissions use the date and time for the manual submission of the physical entity in the drop box provided at the Support Centre.
