Review the feedback report

You've chosen an essay and have clicked into it to see the feedback report. Let's explore the sections of that report and how to interact with them. The screenshot below is marked to correspond with the numbered sections in this article.

1. Grading Report Overview

When you open a student submission, the grading report is organized into tabs and actions that let you review, adjust, and finalize feedback. The next steps involve reviewing the different sections of the report and marking it as reviewed so that you can move on to the next student submission. You can track which report you are reviewing by noting the assignment selected in the sidebar as well as the essay title and (when available) the student name in the area above the report.

2. Feedback Report

This tab summarizes the rubric-based evaluation. Each rubric category (such as Focus, Organization, Evidence, and Clarity) is scored and paired with short narrative feedback.

• Category Scores: Shows the student’s performance on each rubric criterion.
• Suggestions: Provides practical ideas for improvement, such as adding detail or clarifying a claim.
• Editable Comments: Teachers can edit or delete AI-suggested feedback, or add stickers for emphasis.

3. Writing Report

The Writing Report focuses on mechanics and clarity.

• Grammar & Spelling: Highlights issues directly in the text with explanations of why the usage is incorrect.
• Suggestions: Offers corrections (for example, replacing that with whom), which the teacher can review or dismiss.
• Impact Notes: Explains how the error affects formality, accuracy, or readability.

4. AI Detection (Integrity Check)

• AI Writing Detection: Provides a likelihood score and burstiness measures (how varied the writing patterns are).
• Plagiarism (coming soon): Will flag text copied between their peers with expanded detection coming as well.
• Interpretation Guidance: This section helps teachers decide how to weigh the results when reviewing student work.

5. Comments

Teachers can leave their own inline comments by highlighting sections of the essay.

• Contextual Feedback: Attach comments directly to sentences or paragraphs.
• Personal Notes: Comments are saved in the Comments tab for easy tracking.
• Flexible Use: Can supplement rubric feedback with personal encouragement or targeted advice.

6. Mark as Reviewed

Above the report tabs, a Mark as reviewed button finalizes the grading. Once clicked, the submission’s status updates on the assignment list, helping teachers track progress.

Additional page controls, including moving on to the next or previous assignment to continue your reviewing, are covered in the next section.

Additional Page Controls

Navigation Arrows

Arrows in the top-right corner let teachers move quickly between students’ essays without returning to the assignment list.

Three-Dot Menu

A menu in the top-right corner provides additional actions:

• Edit essay name – rename the submission if needed.
• Regrade – apply a different rubric or grading settings.
• Copy Feedback Report and Copy Writing Report – copy text from these sections for reuse or record-keeping.
• Print feedback – send the full report to a printer.
• Export to PDF – generate a PDF file of the report (see the help article about exporting to PDF for more details on this option)
• Delete – remove the student's submission from the essay list.

Compare with Previous Work (coming soon)

At the bottom of the essay panel, teachers will soon be able to select prior work from the same student in order to compare the current submission to their earlier work. This makes it easier to spot growth or recurring challenges, particularly when part of the assignment is to submit drafts for teacher feedback.
