Turnitin Feedback Studio can be used
to communicate detailed, in-line feedback on
students’ written
assignments. You can choose to annotate
directly on to the student’s assignment using
pre-prepared
QuickMark comments, written ‘bubble’ comments
or in-line text comments.
Using QuickMark
Comments
A QuickMark is Turnitin’s term for
reusable feedback comments. They allow you to
use the same sets
of comments across your modules and
assignments, without the need to re-write them
each time you
are reviewing students’ work. Turnitin
provides you with a pre-written set of
comments and phrases
under headings such as ‘composition’ and
‘punctuation’. You can also create and use
your own sets of
comments and phrases.
Note: When using Turnitin QuickMarks to communicate detailed feedback on students’ work you are advised to use the Mozilla Firefox browser.
