Programme Administrators should create summative Turnitin assignments within the appropriate folder inside the ‘Assessment’ learning module e.g. Assessment > Assignment 1.
This guide takes you through the settings you should apply when creating a summative Turnitin assignment.
For help with the mechanics of creating a Turnitin assignment, please see Set up a Turnitin Assignment.
Submission point settings
Create Turnitin assignments within the appropriate folder inside the ‘Assessment’ learning module e.g. Assessment > Assignment 1.
- Due date: official due date and time
- Feedback release date: due date + 15 working days
- Late submissions: Yes
- Similarity Reports visible: Yes
- Generate Similarity Reports: Immediately, can resubmit
- Anonymous marking: Yes by default
Markers and administrators can access submitted work via the Gradebook, or by going directly to the Turnitin assignment.
At the Feedback Release date
- Anonymity is lifted automatically – all student names are revealed.
- Students can access their marks & feedback via Turnitin, and also via the Gradebook. Therefore any work marked after this date is potentially immediately visible.
Releasing marks
- All marks are released on the Feedback Release Date. You cannot release marks only for some students. Any marks entered after the Feedback Release Date are immediately visible to students.
- Setting the assignment visibility to ‘Hidden’ also hides the corresponding Gradebook column. For coursework this should only be necessary in exceptional circumstances.
- Students who have submitted should always be able to see their submission, and their marks and feedback, once these have bene released.
