- This article outlines how to engage anonymous grading in Courses, using Turnitin. For more information on Turnitin at Pepperdine, see Pepperdine’s Turnitin Policy.
- Anonymous grading allows instructors to review content uploaded into an assignment without knowing which student submitted a particular document. This feature can be useful in ensuring that everyone is graded in an unbiased manner.
*Make sure to provide students with instructions not to use their name in their document, i.e. the document name and body of the written text should not contain student information.
