Providing feedback: Commenting and grading

Feedback for students can be in the form of comments or grades. When offered at a point when students can still use the feedback to achieve the course learning outcomes, feedback has the potential to motivate students and inform actions that improve learning. 

Let students know who will:  

  • provide them with feedback comments on their work (e.g., you, teaching assistants, graders, peers, students themselves in the form of self-assessment).

  • grade their work (e.g., you, teaching assistants, graders).

While this resource is accessible worldwide, McGill University is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgment is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
