In addition, or as an alternative, to providing plain text feedback in the marking spreadsheet, you may provide feedback to a student in the form of a separate file such as an annotated version of their submission. Feedback files need to be in the format:
feedback_studentUsername (for open assignments), e.g. feedback_a-person.docx
feedback_studentNumber (for anonymous assignments), e.g. feedback_01234567.docx
If you want to create more than one feedback file for a student using the same application e.g. you want to provide two separate Word files, you need to append numbers to the file name in order to differentiate the files.
For example: feedback_a-person_1.docx and feedback_a-person_2.docx
Saving your feedback file
The example is annotating a Word file.
- From the extracted folder, open the submitted Word file.
- To add a comment, select the Review tab, select the relevant text and then select New Comment.
- Once you have finished your annotations select 'File' then 'Save As' and navigate to the location on your device where you want to save the file.
- Edit the name to be in the correct format e.g. feedback_student16.docx.
- Select Save.
