3 Introduction Instructors can use the InSite app to assign papers within MindTap courses. Students upload their work to the MindTap course to be evaluated by their instructors. PeerMark assignments are added to the Learning Path to allow students to review their classmates papers. About the InSite App The InSite app uses the Turnitin service to enable instructors to add paper assignments to the MindTap Learning Path.

When students submit papers, an Originality Report can display similarities to existing content. Instructors can grade submitted papers using rubrics and grading forms. About PeerMark The PeerMark assignment type enables students to review papers written by their peers, based on scale (highest/lowest) and free response questions selected by the instructor.

44 Grading Paper Assignments Using Rubrics Instructors can use rubrics to define criteria and scales for reviewing student work. Grading forms enable free-form feedback and scoring. If desired, instructors and administrators can create and share rubric scorecards and grading forms with other instructors.

The maximum value for the Standard rubric is the same as the highest scale value you enter. Custom rubric Enables instructors to enter any value into the rubric cells directly. The maximum value for the Custom rubric is the sum of the highest value entered in each of the criteria rows. Qualitative rubric Enables instructors to create a rubric with no numeric scoring. The tables in this section contain instructions for instructors on creating rubric scorecards and grading forms. Instructors cannot create a rubric at the time of assignment. However, using the Rubric Manager they can create or assign a rubric later.
