Where are the options that check for style, grammar, etc.?
As I was putting my course together, I wanted to check off the boxes that provide a report regarding writing style, grammar, etc. This feature was valuable and saved a ton of time when grading. Maybe it's me, but the option for that particular report does not show up when creating an essay assignment like it has in the past.

It's not you! I just collected over 100 essays. I've always counted on the grammar check feature so I could focus on the structure and content of the essay. Now I have to check all the little grammar mistakes because turnitin decided to remove the grammar check feature. This program no longer supports speed and efficiency in my grading.

Believe us, and , when we say we are sad about ETS, too!
We were notified by Educational Testing Services (ETS) that they will no longer be supporting their e-rater grammar service in 2025. As a result, we had to remove the e-rater from all of our products as of December 31, 2024.
In the absence of grammar checking provided via e-rater, we recommend giving Turnitin Draft Coach a try to provide grammar checks for students while drafting in Microsoft Word on the Web or Google Docs.
We apologize for any inconvenience this discontinuation of the e-rater service may have caused. Please reach out to your account manager if you have additional questions or concerns. And as Patricia said, good luck with midterms!
