Submitting assessments is a key part of any course. Turnitin Feedback Studio allows you to check your submissions for improper citation or potential plagiarism against scholarly databases and other sources worldwide. The teacher can enable Turnitin Feedback Studio within the Assessment Dropbox tool, giving you the ability to analyse and revise your work. 

How do I view my feedback?

Viewing teacher feedback in VU Collaborate

Submitting assessments and receiving your grades and any feedback is integral to all courses. Depending on how the teacher has decided to utilise the tools available within VU Collaborate, you may be able to view your grades and feedback in two different ways, either through the Grades tool or via the Assessment Dropbox tool. View the common questions on accessing your feedback for assessment tasks below. 

How do I view my grades? 

When your grades are published by the teacher, they will appear on your personal Grades page; when inside the Space for your unit, select ‘Results’ and then ‘Grades’. Depending on how your grades are set up, you might also be able to view comments and overall class performance statistics. For more information, view this guide. You will only be able to view your grades and feedback once the teacher has published them. 

How do I view feedback given in VU Collaborate? 

If the teacher has left comments on your work in VU Collaborate, click on Assessments from the top menu within the Space for your unit and select Assessment Dropbox. If feedback has been left for you, under the feedback column, you will have the ability to click on ‘View’. For further information on viewing feedback in your Assessment dropbox view this guide. Please note that if you do not see this, please speak with the teacher for further support as they may not have released it.
