Assessing or providing feedback on students’ coursework refers to the instructor’s active and ongoing role in evaluating student work and offering meaningful, individualized responses that guide improvement and deepen understanding.

Feedback must be from the instructor and direct student learning. It can be provided in various formats, such as written, video, or audio comments, or a live discussion with the student.

NOTE: Automated grading does not count as RSI alone and should be accompanied by additional personalized feedback from the instructor during delivery. 

• The course syllabus includes a section for the instructor’s feedback plan, such as methods, tools, and expected turn-around time.

• The course design includes assessments and activities that provide the opportunity for regular and substantive feedback.

• The course schedule considers the pacing of assignments so that there is sufficient time for the instructor to provide feedback and the student to incorporate it into future assessments. 

• The instructor provides regular, individualized feedback that goes beyond assigning scores, such as written/audio/video comments.

• Feedback is provided in enough time for students to apply it to future work.

• Auto-graded assessments are reviewed, and individualized comments are provided.

• Assessments using standardized rubrics include additional personalized feedback. 

• Individual and whole class participation is reviewed at regular intervals, and the instructor initiates interaction as needed. 

• Whole class feedback is provided via announcements, emails, or discussion summaries, including helpful guidance around topics that may need re-visited by the entire class.
