Goal

After completing this how-to you will have the knowledge needed to leave feedback on an Assignment.  Providing feedback to students is an essential component in the learning process.  Feedback should surpass the simple "Great Job" or "Keep Trying", it should provide students with a guide on where to go next and what to focus on.  Feedback should also be delivered in a nonjudgmental and positive way.  For other guides on the Assignment tool, see the Assignments topic page.
