From December 31st 2020, Turnitin Feedback Studio users will no longer be able to create new revision and reflection assignments. Existing revision and reflection assignments will still be accessible. Learn how to use a standard assignment to retain this functionality.

A revision assignment allows you to have additional and independent assignment attempts for a Turnitin assignment. This could be to provide multiple drafts for an assignment or a series of assignments linked together.

The revision assignment is linked to the settings of the main assignment, however the dates and points given, as well as the number of attempts and some similarity report settings can be changed to fit the needs of the assignment.

You will need to set up a Turnitin Assignment for the Summative or final assignment. Follow the Turnitin assignment set up guide.

To set up your linked revision assignments in the Assessment area, Click Assessments > Turnitin Assignment
