How to Leave a Comment
Step 1: Navigate to the Assessments module.
Step 2: Make sure you are in the Assigned section.
Step 3: Choose the correct class.
Step 4: Select the desired assessment.
There are three ways to leave a comment on a rubric assessment:
Assessment Grading Page
Selecting the comment bubble on the main grading page allows you to leave a comment on the assessment as a whole.
Your comment can be up to 1000 characters in length.
Individual Student Grading Page
Selecting a student will take you to their individual grading page, where you can see a detailed view of their rubric, leave a comment on the assessment as a whole, and leave a comment on an individual descriptor.
Comments on the assessment as a whole can be up to 1000 characters. That comment can be found at the bottom of the grading page.
Comments on the individual descriptor can be up to 2000 characters. That comment will be located within the comment bubble.
You can also delete or edit the comment as needed. Navigate to the grading page for that particular assessment. The comment can be found and deleted there.
Assessments Gradebook
Comments can be left directly in the assessments gradebook as well. Learn more here.
Student View
The student can view a comment on a Rubric Assessment in two ways; in the assessment itself or from the assessments gradebook.
In the Assessment
Keep in mind, in order to see a comment directly in the assessment:
The assessment must be graded.
"Allow Post Grading Review" must be enabled. This will allow 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, then select Review. The comment will be at the bottom of the rubric, and any comments left on individual descriptors will be indicated by a darkened comment bubble.

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.
