Troy University instructors now have access to OriginalityCheck, GradeMark, and PeerMark.

• OriginalityCheck – “OriginalityCheck helps instructors check students’ work for improper citation or potential plagiarism by comparing it against the world’s most accurate text comparison database.”

• GradeMark – “Paperless grading is finally here! GradeMark saves instructors time and provides richer feedback to students by enabling editorial highlights, custom comments, and QuickMark editing marks directly on the student papers.” The ETS e-rater Grammar Checking tool is also included in GradeMark.

• PeerMark – “Students don’t just learn from instructors they also learn from one another. PeerMark facilitates peer review so that students can evaluate each other’s work and learn from their classmates.”
