Student View
The student can view a comment on a Simple Assessment in the assessment itself or from the assessments gradebook.
In the Assessment
In order to see a comment directly in the assessment:
The assessment must be graded.
"Allow Post Grading Review" must be enabled which allows the student to access the assessment after it has been graded.
Once the assessment has been graded, the student will navigate to their Assessments module, select the assessment, select review, and scroll to the bottom to see the comment:

Is the student missing the Review button when they click on the assessment? That means the "Allow Post Grading Review" setting has not been enabled. Click here for more information.
In the Gradebook
Students can view comments from the gradebook instead of opening their assessment.
After opening their assessments view of the gradebook, they will click on a class to expand the assessment details for that class. The last column in this table shows the comments. Clicking on a comment will open the full comment for viewing.
💡 Tip: Comments left on any points-based or standards-based assessment can be viewed from the Gradebook or the actual assessment.
