Using GradeMark with Rubrics

Arizona State University Nursing instructor Patricia Harris discusses her use of rubrics and the GradeMark* functionality within Turnitin.  Nursing faculty are finding that their use of these two tools:

• encourage transparent scoring guidelines;
• promote consistent scoring among faculty;
• emphasize writing;
• provide evidence of student critical thinking growth; and
• support a foundation for continuous improvement in grading.

GradeMark saves instructors time and provides richer feedback to students by enabling editorial highlights, custom comments, and QuickMark editing marks directly on student papers.
