Turnitin Rubrics and grading forms help to evaluate student work, based on defined criteria and scales. They can either be created while creating an assignment or after a student has made a submission.

When creating an assignment, the optional settings allow lecturer to either attach an existing rubric or create a new rubric by launching the Rubric/Form Manager.

There are four grading tools to choose from:

  • Standard rubric - used for numerical scoring.
    • This type of rubric allows you to enter scale values and criteria percentages.
    • The criteria percentages combined must equal 100% as each criterion represents a percentage of the student’s overall grade.
    • The maximum grade value for this type of rubric will be the same as the highest scale value entered.
  • Qualitative rubric - used for providing feedback without the use of numerical scoring.
    • The scale and criteria used for this type of rubric are more descriptive than measurable.
  • Custom rubric - can be modified to suit your grading needs.
    • Descriptive scales and criteria can be entered while each rubric cell can be allocated its own point value as well as written feedback.
  • Grading form - used for providing feedback with or without the use of numerical scoring or scaled criteria.
    • The criteria used is more descriptive than measurable and each criterion is standard as opposed to having scaled levels like in rubrics.
    • Numerical scoring can be added for each individual criterion and these will be added together to create an overall grade.
