Once a question is opened in the rubric panel the feedback for that specific question will be revealed.  There are three elements to the feedback.

  1. Annotations – The marker may have made annotations directly onto the submitted work, these annotations will only appear when the relevant question is open.
  2. Rubric item – Rubrics are used to calculate the marks.  Each rubric item will add (or subtract if negative marking is being used) a mark.  The rubric items may be labelled with a reason for the mark but this is optional.
  3. Comments – The marker may add some submission specific comments in addition to the more generic rubric item label.
