FAQs

How do I know if a student viewed my comments on the paper?

The person icon in the ‘Response’ column indicates which students viewed your comments. 

Why don't students see my comments on their papers?

Comments become visible to students only after the ‘Feedback Release Date’ – one of the fields you define when setting up a Turnitin Feedback Studio Assignment. The assignment’s ‘Feedback Release Date’ can be edited at any time. 

Do I need to transfer the grades I apply to assignments in Feedback Studio to my Brightspace grade center?

No, the grades will get transferred automatically. Each time you create a Turnitn Feedback Studio assignment in your course a column will automatically be generated in your Brightspace grade center. The grade will transfer automatically to your Brightspace grade center once one has been added.

I had quick marks saved when we used the old Turnitin, will I still be able to access those?

Yes, your saved quick marks will continue to be accessible in the new LTI tool. 

Every time I post a new Turnitin Feedback Studio Assignment I see a message underneath the title that says “Availability: Item is available, but some students or groups may not have access.” What does this mean?

This indicates that the assignment is available in the course, however, enrolled students will not see the assignment link until the date you selected as the start date. 

Why can’t I access Turnitin assignments in my courses that took place prior to Fall 2022?
  • Beginning August 2022, Bentley transitioned away from an old version of Turnitin and into a new LTI integration.
  • Assignments created from previous years will no longer work after August 22, 2022. You will need to recreate these assignments again using the new Turnitin user interface. (Please note if your course has been copied, any previously existing Turnitin Assignments in the copied course will need to be re-created with the new tool). 
  • Past Turnitin student assignments submissions in your course(s) will also no longer directly be accessible. You will need to reach out to the ATC to request these assignment submissions.
