Viewing Feedback

After accessing the graded test or survey, view your score and any instructor-provided feedback. The feedback available depends on the assessment settings configured by the instructor.

Types of Feedback

  • Overall Feedback: An instructor may provide general comments about performance on the test or survey. This feedback is typically displayed at the top of the page.
  • Question-Specific Feedback: The instructor may provide feedback on individual questions. This feedback will be displayed alongside the corresponding question.
  • Rubric Feedback: If the instructor used a rubric to grade the test or survey, the rubric can be viewed to see how each criterion was scored. Click the View Rubric link to access the rubric.
  • Inline Annotations: The instructor may have used inline annotations to provide feedback directly on the submitted answers. These annotations will appear within the submission.
