Comments and annotations

Rubric items carry the standardized feedback. For everything else, leave comments and draw directly on the work.

Question comments

Each question on each submission can carry a written comment. Comments render LaTeX, so feedback can include properly typeset math. See Math and LaTeX.

You can type comments, dictate them with Voice to LaTeX, or start from an AI-drafted first pass and edit.

On-page annotations

Draw and mark directly on the submission to point at the exact line where things went wrong. Annotations stick to the page content; if pages are reordered, the annotation moves with the work it refers to.

What students see

When grades are released, students see their score, the applied rubric items with descriptions, comments, and annotations in place on their work. Writing rubric items as readable feedback (see Writing rubric items) means most submissions need no extra comment at all.
