Turnitin Rubric tools

  • Standard rubric (scale values per column and weighted criteria rows) often referred to as scored and weighted rubric and automatically totals scores
  • Custom rubric (allows any value in any cell). Automatic totalling of scores
  • Qualitative rubric (doesn’t require a definitive score per scale or criteria). Often used where you want to choose a score from a range, such as degree classification boundaries etc. This does not give scores or automated totals. Markers will need to assign an overall grade manually.

A Turnitin grading form – can be scored or not scored. Automatic totalling of scores when scores are enabled – uses a different format to the rubric tool.
