Forums: How To Provide Private Feedback On A Forum

Entering Feedback Directly into the Grader Report
  1. Locate the Administration block on your main course page. Expand the Course administration menu and click Grades.
  2. Click the grade cell of the student and forum for which you would like to provide feedback.
  3. You should see two boxes appear; one has a solid outline, while the other has a dotted outline. The solid line box is for the actual grade; any grade that was assessed by rating the forum posts will display here and can be overridden (we recommend always grading at the activity level). The dotted line box is for feedback; you can type your private feedback to the student’s forum post(s) here. Press Enter when you are finished typing.
