Where is Feedback Located?
Feedback for assignments is provided in the same place as you submitted on Learning Space, in the 'Assessment' section of the module area.
When is Feedback available?
If your tutor has uploaded feedback for your submission, they should have notified you that it is available. If it is more than 4 working weeks after the submission date, contact them to ask when it will be available.
You can easily check if feedback is available by checking the status of your submission. If the status is "Released", then feedback is available.
Accessing Feedback (most assessments)
For most assignments, your feedback will be provided as a Word document or PDF. To view it, go to your submission and scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see your grade and one or more attached files. Don't stop at checking the grade. Open the feedback file to understand how your work was assessed and what you can improve for future assignments.
Accessing Feedback (some essays and dissertations)
Some modules use Turnitin Feedback Studio instead of uploading feedback as a separate document. Feedback can be provided in three ways:
- Overall feedback, which gives you general comments on your work.
- Rubrics, which show how your work was assesses against the marking criteria.
- Inline comments, which will appear in your submission document and can provide feedback on specific sections.
If your work has been checked using Turnitin's similarity checker, additional icons may appear beneath your submitted file after submission. These include the similarity score, which shows how much of your work matches content in Turnitin's database.
To access feedback, click the pencil icon.
When you access the Turnitin Feedback Studio, you see will be the similarity report.
To make reading your feedback easier, you should temporarily disable the similarity report by clicking the red segment on the tool bar.
Overall Comments
The overall comments can be accessed by clicking the white speech bubble icon with the blue background. This should open automatically in Turnitin studio.
This contains the overall feedback for the assignment and could include a voice comment as well a a text comment.
The Rubric
The rubric can be viewed by clicking 'View Rubric' button as shown in the instructor feedback screen. To access instructor feedback, click on the comments button in the toolbar which can be identified as the button with a white speech bubble on a blue background.
A rubric compares aspects of your assignment against the module's learning outcomes. Highlighted in blue are at what level you performed against each learning outcome.
Note: Not all Turnitin submissions use a rubric and this may not appear for you.
In-line Comments
In-line comments may appear throughout your assignment and can be identified by the speech bubble icon or by the "Citation Needed" icon which features white text on a blue background.
Clicking on either of these icons reveal more information from your tutor.
How to download Feedback
Click the download icon which can be identified as a grey arrow pointing downwards with a line underneath it.
Finally from the download options, click 'Current View' to start the download.
