GradeBook
GradeBook is Turnitin's new online grading system that combines the flexibility and at-a-glance usability of traditional pen and paper gradebooks with the features and functionality of software-based grading tools.

Custom GradeBook
Regardless of whichever grading
system you prefer to use- letter grades, the four point scale, or something
different entirely- GradeBook can be customized to fit your existing system.
Not only are achieved point totals translatable into any imaginable grading matrix, but you also can adjust base percentage values to match those used in your school, district, or institution. Once created, GradeBook grading preferences are automatically saved and can be easily replicated (or altered) for use in future classes.
Scalable & Flexible
In addition to allowing for nearly endless customization of grading options, GradeBook comes equipped with a powerful scaling tool that makes trying out different assignment weights a breeze.
Assignments entered into GradeBook are given a natural weight, based on relative point values (of your choosing). At any time, however, you can choose to alter the weight of your assignments without having to change their original point totals. Scaled totals can be altered or reversed at any time during the grading cycle, and GradeBook also lets you conveniently toggle between scaled and natural weights at the click of a button.
A Graphical View
GradeBook can display graphs that illustrate student performance in number of ways.
Total System Integration
Any assignments completed through Turnitin, such as Peer Reviews and essays submitted for Plagiarism Prevention, are automatically entered into GradeBook.
Additional class material can be easily incorporated into your classes' running point total, and GradeBook also provides a simple interface for keeping track of student tardies and absences. If necessary, GradeBook also exports neatly to an Excel® spreadsheet for administrative or archival purposes.
