Straighterline and Turnitin grading?

[armyb77]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has completed Business Communications through Straighterline with the Turnitin graders? I submitted the drafts for each of the assignments on Saturday, and I am waiting for them to be graded. Straighterline says it takes 5 days to grade. I just finished talking to them and they told me that the time does not include weekends either. So it seems it will take until the end of next week at the fastest to get my final grade! Anyways here are my question that I figure some of you might be able to answer:

1. How is Turnitin for grading compared to smarthinking? (from my experience Smarthinking usually gave lower grades if you didn't submit a draft first)
2. Straighterline says it take 5 days, have any of you experienced a faster response with Turnitin?
3. How constructive is their feedback?


This is my last course with Straighterline and I just want it over with, so I am very impatient....lol

Thanks!
