Feedback only helps if students actually use it. After you release AI-assisted feedback, a two-minute routine helps students read it the right way — comments first, score as a next step. Here's what students see and how to coach them through it.
At a glance: Students open the assignment → Feedback tab → read the comments → check rubric scores → set a goal for next time.
Step 1. Point students to the Feedback tab
When you release feedback, students open the assignment and click the Feedback tab. Tell them this is where your comments and their scores live — right next to what they wrote.
Step 2. Have them read the comments first
Coach students to read the written feedback before the score. It names what they did well and the one or two things to improve, in plain language they can act on — exactly the feedback you reviewed and approved.
Step 3. Then turn scores into next steps
Finally, have students scroll to Rubric Scores and find their lowest criterion — that's their goal for next time. Framing the score as a next step (not a verdict) is what makes the feedback stick.
