If you have submitted work via Turnitin, your lecturers may choose to mark and provide feedback using a rubric or grading form.

What is a rubric?

A rubric contains definitions of marking criteria for your assignment. These are displayed in a table, with columns showing what is expected at each level in order to achieve particular marks.

What is a grading form?

A grading form is similar to a rubric, in that it contains definitions of marking criteria for your assignment. Instead of a table of columns showing descriptions of each level of achievement, your lecturers can use a grading form to structure written feedback under a heading for each criterion.
