Reviewing grades
The Review Grades page has an overview of student submissions, their grades, and grading statuses. You can view, edit, publish, and download grades or download a student submission as a CSV.
| Column | Description |
| Student name | The first and last name of the student as it is recorded in the roster. |
|
The student's email as it is recorded in the course roster. |
|
| Score | The final score of the graded student submission out of the total score of the assignment |
| Status |
The grading status of the student submission.
|
| Published | The date and time the student's grade has been published and made available to the Turnitin website or LMS. |
| Viewed | The date and time a student has viewed their graded submission. |
Viewing graded submissions
To view a student’s graded submission, select a student’s name.
This is the same view that the student will see once you publish grades, with the exception of hidden scoring items.
Adjusting the score or feedback on one submission
Sometimes you want to give individual feedback to only one submission (e.g., you want to give one student a point adjustment for an entire assignment, extra credit or bonus points). You can do this with Submission Adjustments, which allow you to add or subtract points as well as provide specific comments to a student’s submission.
- Go to the Review Grades page.
- Find the student and select the pencil icon next to their Score. This will open the Submission Adjustment modal.
- Edit the Point Adjustment and/or Comments and then select Save Changes.
The point adjustment amount can be negative or positive. When you make a score adjustment, the points you enter are added or subtracted from the student’s original score on the assignment.
- If a student’s original score has already been published, you will need to republish grades. Until you republish the grades, the previous score will appear in the Score column below the updated score. After a score has been adjusted, a Score Adjusted label will appear below the Status for that item.
When adjusting the score this way, the adjustment only applies to the overall score of the entire submission, and not any of the specific question scores.
Publishing grades
On the Review Grades page, you can publish and unpublish student grades. In order for students to be able to see their grades, grades must be published.
To publish, use checkboxes to select the graded submissions you’d like to publish. Then, select Publish Grades. When published, the submission status changes to Published.
You'll only be able to publish grades for submissions that have been assigned and fully graded.
If you have enabled student upload, we recommend not publishing grades before the due date so that students don't have the opportunity to see grades and feedback while the submission window is open.
Unpublishing grades
To unpublish grades, select the graded submissions you’d like to unpublish. Then, select Unpublish Grades.
Posting assignment grades to an LMS
When you publish grades, the grades will automatically be published and synced to your LMS gradebook.
Posting assignment grades to the Turnitin website
Grades do not get passed back to the Turnitin gradebook, so students need to select View to launch their graded assignment in order to see their grades.
Downloading grades
On the Review Grades page, you can download the assignment data to a CSV, which will allow you to view and manipulate the data from fully-graded submissions in a spreadsheet.
If you select any submissions that are not fully graded, they will be omitted from the final report.
To download or export assignment data:
- From the Review Grades page, use the checkboxes to select some or all students in the table.
- Select the Generate CSV button at the top right. A panel on the right will automatically open and display the progress of generating the CSV.
- Select the appropriate icon to download or delete the file.
Inside of the CSV file, you can find the following data:
- First Name: The student's first name
- Last Name: The student's last name
- SID: The student's ID, if one exists
- Total Score: The total score of the assignment
- Max Points: The maximum score that the student could receive
- Status: The grading status of each submission
- Submission Time: The date and time of the submission
- Each question on the assignment and its total point value
