Prompt Detail:
Giving supportive feedback to students when marking their assessments can greatly enhance their learning and achievement [10]. Here are ten examples of supportive feedback for students:
"You are on the right track. By starting to study for the exam earlier, you may be able to retain more knowledge on exam day." [1]
"Your analysis of the case study was very thorough and thoughtful. You provided evidence for your points and demonstrated a strong understanding of the concepts we covered in class."
"I appreciate the effort you put into this assignment. Your writing has improved since the last paper you submitted." [7]
"You made a good attempt at solving the problem, but you could improve by showing more of your work and explaining your thought process."
"Your presentation was engaging and well-organized. You spoke clearly and made effective use of visuals to support your points."
"You showed improvement from your last essay by incorporating more evidence and analysis to support your arguments." [2]
"You have a strong grasp of the material and are able to apply it effectively. Keep up the good work!"
"Your use of examples to support your claims was effective and helped to clarify your argument."
"Your attention to detail in formatting and citing your sources is impressive. This will serve you well in future assignments."
"You asked thoughtful questions during class discussions and demonstrated a strong understanding of the material." [5]
It is important to ensure that feedback is actionable and timely [8]. Students should also be given the opportunity to reflect on the feedback and identify areas for improvement [9]. Additionally, formative feedback that is given throughout the course can help students understand how well they are progressing and identify areas where they need to focus their efforts [6].
