    Prof. Rosalie Bélanger-Rioux, Mathematics & Statistics

    Focus feedback on conceptual questions rather than computational questions to maximize student learning and make the most of TA grading time.

  • Prof. Armin Yazdani, Physiology

    Limit comments on assignments to a short list of actionable items so students are not overwhelmed by a large volume of feedback.

  • Prof. Armin Yazdani, Physiology

    Integrate multiple rounds of feedback into course assignments to help develop students' writing skills.

  • Diane Dechief

    Diane Dechief, Office of Science Education

    Consider the differences and learning benefits of both audio and written feedback on course assignments.

  • Diane Dechief
