Feedback for Assignments
Assignments are submitted through the Assignments tool in Sakai; every LMS will have a similar tool, although it may be called something different. These assignments are private and can only be accessed by a facilitator in the course. Feedback for these assignments should always be provided, especially if points are deducted. Feedback should be provided within the student text whenever possible.
The length of the assignment should guide the length of the feedback returned. There may be a short response that requires an extensive response from you, but in general, if the assignment is lengthy, it is expected that the feedback will be more substantial than that for a discussion post or wiki contribution. Approvals should be included as feedback if the participant receives full credit. If any points are deducted, feedback should be provided (again, within the text whenever possible) explaining, according to the rubric, why those points were lost.
