Create a Turnitin standard rubric (Ultra)

To create a standard rubric, you need to create the submission link.  Three main steps are involved:

• Create a Turnitin assignment submission link
• Create a rubric and attach the rubric to the submission link

Step 1: Create a Turnitin assignment submission link

Refer to the Create a Turnitin assignment submission guide for step-by-step instruction.

Step 2: Create a rubric

Note: You should have all the rubric content in a Word document or PDF to upload to the relevant Assessment folder in Learn.UQ for students.

1. Click on the relevant Turnitin submission link.

2. Click on the cog button to access the submission link settings.

3. Click on the Optional Settings button.

4. Check the box Attach a rubric
5. Click on the Launch Rubric Manager button.

6. Click on the menu icon.
7. Select the Create new rubric option.

8. Enter the rubric name in the Name textbox. Tip: use abbreviate/shorter name due to space limitation.
9. Use the plus icon to add more rows (criteria) and columns (scales).

Use the bin icon to delete the unwanted criteria/scales.

10. Copy and paste the rubric content to the template. Make sure:

• Each criterion has a percentage.
• All criteria add up to 100%
• Use a short name for each criterion and add a more detailed description underneath the name.
• Scale the percentage for each level of performance (Refer to the example notes).
• Add a descriptor to each grid.

11. Click on the Save button.

12. Click on the cross button to close the rubric manager. The submission link setting page will be displayed again.

13. Click on the down arrow on the No rubric box.

14. Select the rubric you created (usually the last in the list).

15. Click on the Submit button.

Note: Once you have created the Turnitin assignment submission link with the rubric, you can test the rubric. 

Two options to set up a student submission to test are:

• Submit a sample assignment on behalf of a student (delete after testing).
• Submit a sample assignment using the student preview tool

Two steps are involved:

• Submit a sample assignment
• Mark the sample assignment using the rubric

Submit a sample assignment on behalf of a student

You can use a sample assignment and submit it on behalf of a student in the course to test the rubric.
