  5. If you follow these instructions, but still are unable to see comments for a Turnitin Direct assignment, contact your instructor to see if they left any comments.

    1. If they did, ask them to check to what the "Post Date" for the Turnitin Direct assignment is.

    2. The "Post Date" governs when comments in the Turnitin's "Feedback Studio" will appear.

 Method 2

Sometimes an instructor will not add comments to your paper in Turnitin Direct.

They may instead download your paper and then upload it again with comments.

If so, the following webpage will tell you how you can view their comments.
