Assignment type

There are many choices to make when setting up an ASSIGNMENT Many are to do with marking online, gradebook, rubrics etc. If you just want the PLAGIARISM checked – best to keep it simple POINT VALUE - eg. 100 (if you are marking within Turnitin) POST DATE – if giving feedback within Turnitin – up to this date. If before DUEDATE, you can give feedback as they go. Choose this for plagiarism check, other is if you’re not checking plagiarism. eg. artwork for feedback only Up to you – can change later for a late student This one – most popular (student can submit numerous times prior to due date). First submission immediate, others can be 24 hr turn around. Other choices – only one submission

Assignment continued Turnitin suggest YES Your choice, default is NO Turnitin suggest YES Your choice – depends on task If you choose YES – how many words? Choose this one so papers can be checked in future Turnitin have a bank of rubrics or you can upload your own. Not required if you’re not marking within Turnitin.

Marking/Feedback within Turnitin Bubble comment, textbox comment, commonly used Other options - using rubric, Quickmark etc.

Other Tips Most students (Linda’s Biology class, anyway) liked to submit before due date – need to be organised. Students said it was less than a 24 hour turn-around. If as student has trouble submitting their assignment, the teacher has the option to submit it for them as an Instructor Throughout Turnitin, there are question marks, explaining different functions. Percentage of plagiarism varies. Universities – 8-10 %, CBHS Science Dept. 13 %, Aloysius 15 %. Up to the teacher. Linda Keirs (Term 2) had a rough figure in her head (13 %), but didn’t tell the boys. She did tell them to avoid PLAGIARISM. Students MUST use their school email to sign up to TURNITIN. If they forget their password, it can easily be retrieved. You will need to tell students what their school email address is (many don’t know or use it). Linda did provide her students with an instruction sheet for Turnitin (see next slide).
