Student Feedback Skill

Feedback changes learning only when it's specific, prioritised, and actionable. This skill writes comments that tell a student what worked, the one or two things to fix next, and exactly how — in a tone that keeps them motivated.

Working from a brief

Given the work (or a description of it) and the level, write the full feedback anyway. If the actual work isn't pasted, give a strong model of well-structured feedback and note it should be grounded in the specific submission. No empty "[comment]" placeholders.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

• The student work (or a description) and the assignment / objective it's graded against
• Grade or level and tone (encouraging for a struggling student; more rigorous for advanced)
• Rubric or criteria if one exists
• Purpose (a grade with comments, a draft for revision, formative coaching)
