How do I turn on/off radiator?

I have a radiator in my student apartment with a thermostat on the wall. The instruction said I only need to set the thermostat to auto but it didnt heat the radiator. I saw a knob at the right end of the radiator and turn it a few times to the right(counterclockwise) and felt hot water runnning in. Now I wonder how do i switch it off? Did i just bleed the radiator? Seems that its still hot even when i set the thermostat off.

    there are two valves on a rad ..the one on left you dont normally touch ..to turn on ..turn valve anti clockwise ..to t\urn off ..clockwise ...best to leave valve on left open ..anti clock ..and use valve on right to turn rad on and off ..and no you did not bleed rad ..that's the bleed screw on the top ...on the end
