What are the GradeMark and PeerMark features in Turnitin?

Thanks to the generous support of Summer Sessions for the 2010-2011 academic year, UCLA has added access to the GradeMark and PeerMark features in addition to the current OriginalityCheck from Turnitin. These features (collectively known as WriteCycle) are ready for immediate use.

GradeMark allows for completely paperless grading of submitted work. Professors and/or TAs are able to easily add provided comments or customized comments to papers which students are then able to access directly through Turnitin after the designated post date.

  • Real Time Grading & Mark-up
  • Faster Than Traditional Grading
  • Standardized Editing Marks
  • Assess Students Over Time

PeerMark allows instructors to create an assignment through which students are able to review the work of their classmates. Instructors are given the flexibility to either assign specific groups manually, allow the students to select work to review or have the system randomly assign papers to review. Students would then be given access to see the comments left by their classmates.

Features & Benefits

  • Automatic Paper Distribution
  • Optional Anonymous Reviews
  • Contextual Review Marks
  • Assessment Metrics
  • Students Learn From Each Other
  • Students Become More Engaged In Course Material
  • Helps Students Understand Core Course Material
  • Accessible Anytime, Anywhere
