Creating a Standard assignment

This guide helps instructors access and create a Standard assignment in Turnitin Feedback Studio. Use it to choose the correct assignment type, add required assignment details, review optional settings, and copy an existing assignment when available.

In this guide:

• Access the Standard assignment
• Create your assignment
• Copy an assignment

Access the Standard assignment

When you create an assignment you will have the option of choosing what type of assignment you want to create. This page will look different depending on your license and account settings. Select Standard to create a Standard assignment.

Create your assignment

Some assignment details are required to create an assignment. Other settings are optional, but we recommend reviewing them so the assignment meets your requirements.

To create your assignment:

1. Follow the steps for accessing the Standard assignment.
2. Add a Title for the assignment.
3. Add Instructions for the assignment. Instructions are visible to students before they begin the assignment.
4. Review any formatting applied in the instructions box. Students will see formatting such as bold, italics, underline, bulleted lists, numbered lists, hyperlinks, and left, center, or right indentations.
5. Set the scheduling for the assignment:
   • Start date and time: The date students will be able to start submitting to the assignment.
   • Due date and time: The date by which students will no longer be able to submit to the assignment.
   • Feedback release date and time: The date that any grading and feedback is visible to students. This does not affect when students can view similarity scores.
6. Set the Max points for the assignment.
7. Review the other available settings categorized within the dropdowns to customize your assignment to your requirements. You can customize Grading and feedback settings, Submission settings, and Report settings. Learn more about the additional settings.
8. Upload an assignment template that can be downloaded by your students. Text within the template will be automatically excluded from Similarity Reports. Learn more about templates.
9. When ready, select Create Assignment.

Copy an assignment

Instructors using Turnitin via an LTI 1.3 integration can use the Assignment Copy tool to copy existing assignments from previous classes instead of creating them from scratch.
