Assessments

Outcomes Activities

What kind of tasks will show if students have achieved the

identified outcomes?

What do we want students to be able to

do when they complete the course?

What kind of activities will reinforce the

learning outcomes and prepare students for

assessments?

Using Rubrics

A rubric is an assessment tool that uses clearly specified

criteria and proficiency levels to measure or

judge student achievement or mastery of a given task or skills

11

Why Use Rubrics?

Spells out Expectations

Helps scaffold learning

Informs students on

performance

Reinforces adherence to

learning

RUBRICS: BUILDING & GRADING IN TURNITINFACULTY PERSPECTIVE


29

Why use Turnitin for building rubrics or grading assignments?

1. Papers are already submitted for plagiarism.2. Rubrics can be built in the same location where you

check student papers for plagiarism.3. No need to download paper, save, track changes, save

again and upload to Grade Center.4. Comments/feedback can be made directly in a student’s

paper using Quickmarks or a comment bubble.5. Grades in TurnItIn can be synched to Grade Center;

there is no need to input manually.

30

Building Rubrics with Turnitin

31

Select the week that you want to place the

TurnItIn assignment in


32

Click on “Assessments” and scroll down and

select “TurnItInAssignment”


33

Now you are on the screen where you can

create a TurnItInAssignment


34

Set your assignment’s “Start Date”, “Due Date”

and “Post Date” (the date you want this

assignment’s grades to be available to students

in TurnItIn)

Click on “Optional Settings” to locate the place where you can

build a rubric

Create an Assignment name

and give the maximum points allowed on the

assignment


35

Decide if you want students to turn in assignments late

Decide if you want to see how similar your students’ papers are to other sources and

whether you want students to see that

information

Decide if you want to exclude references

and quotes from being screened for

plagiarism


36

Most of the choices on this screen are pre-selected; you

can change if desired


37

Launch the Rubric/Form

Manager to start building your TurnItIn rubric


38

This is what your blank rubric will look like.

1. Name your rubric. 2. Decide what criterion

you want to evaluate and the percentage each criterion counts. You can add criterion by clicking on the “+” sign. Criterion percentages must equal 100%.

3. Select the scales/grades that correspond with

your criterion. You can add criterion

and scales by clicking on the “plus signs”.


39

1. This is an example of a rubric I used last quarter in EDU 7214.

2. Pay particular attention to the scales and grades that you use…this will affect the grade that students receive if the scales are too high/low.


40

Once you build the rubric, select it for the assignment you are grading. Go to the bottom of the screen and submit your choice.


41

If you’ve done everything correctly, then this is the screen you should see.


42

This is what students will see when they go to

submit their assignment to

TurnItIn


43

This page shows that the Practice Assignment was 17% similar to other sources, was submitted on-time and is ready to grade with the rubric you created.


44

This is a breakdown of the sources that made up the 17% similarity.


45

While you’re evaluating a student’s paper in TurnItIn, you can put commonly used Quickmarkssuch as C/S (comma splice), Frag (fragment). You can also add your own Quickmarks.


46


47

Once you’re done reading and typing comments or putting in Quickmarks, then you click on this button to use the rubric you created to grade the paper. After inputting the scores that you desire, click “Submit”.


48

The grade you gave on the rubric now appears on the main assignment page.

In order to get the grade from TurnItIn into Blackboard’s Grade Center, click on “Roster Sync” and the grade will transfer automatically.

Pros and Cons: BB vs. Turnitin Rubrics

50

Blackboard Rubrics • Connects to any grade center column, in

particular Assignment items

• Can use points, weights, or ranges

• Autograded

• Can provide feedback within each cell

• Data shows overall and row-level rubric scores

• Data is presented for overall class, not by individual student

• Can edit rubrics in section and import/export to other sections

Recommendation: • Use BB rubrics for summative, final grading and Turnitin for formative feedback and plagiarism

check. If you use Turnitin for summative, you can attach the rubric to the grade center column and use that to grade.

• If you teach a course that has a signature assignment for a program student learning outcome measure, you MUST use the Blackboard rubrics.

Turitin Rubrics • Grading occurs in same place as paper if

Turnitin item is created and graded

• Can use weights or points

• Autograded

• Can provide feedback within each cell, and within line of paper

• Data shows overall and row-level rubric scores

• Data is presented for overall class, and by individual student

• Editing has restrictions as rubric lives with Turnitin account user
