Turnitin

Peermark assignment

A peer reviewing feature can be a part of a Turnitin assignment activity.

Note! As a peer you can not see similarity reports of others, but you can review their submissions otherwise.

Peer review is done in PeerMark view where teacher has added evaluative questions to help reviewing. In addition, you have a possibility to comment freely on the paper (annotation feature).

Teacher can choose, whether pairing is done automatically or manually by students or by teacher herself/himself.
