Turn It In Instructor Feedback

There are different types of feedback that your teachers may use on your submitted essays and lab reports when grading. Each type of feedback provides you with helpful information on your submissions. We encourage you to take the time to investigate any feedback left on your submissions to see your strengths and areas you can improve in future submissions. Read on to understand more about each feedback type and where to find them! Remember that your instructor may not use every feedback type on your projects, but this resource will help you understand each type of feedback, should you encounter them in the feedback studio.

You can view your paper's overall grade from the top right-hand corner of the Turnitin Feedback Studio. You can also see the maximum marks available for this assignment.

Bubble comments allow your instructor to provide you with more detailed feedback. A bubble comment may be highlighted and linked to a specific piece of text. Alternatively, a bubble comment may be placed alongside a line or paragraph. This is usually the case if your instructor is making a more general comment about your paper.

To view the comment:

• Select the bubble comment icon on your paper to view your instructor's comment.
• Scroll through your instructor's bubble comment, if necessary, then click anywhere outside of the comment window to close it.

Inline comments are comments made by an instructor that appear directly on top of your paper. These comments are usually brief.

QuickMarks allow your instructor to create a library of feedback that might be applicable, on multiple occasions, to multiple students, across multiple classes and assignments. A QuickMark may be a word or phrase, or may even be an abbreviation.

Your instructor may feel that parts of your paper are not entirely necessary. They may choose to strike through pieces of text to advise you that it should be removed or looked at again.
