Creating and attaching a rubric or grading form after student submission

There are two ways in which you can create a rubric or grading form, depending on your needs.

• At assignment creation. Accessing the manager from the Turnitin Assignment Settings allows you to create and share grading requirements with your students before the assignment is active.
• After student submission. Accessing the manager from the Rubric/Form side panel within Feedback Studio is only possible while viewing a submitted assignment.
