How do I review student work for a written assignment?

The Listenwise platform offers teachers the ability to provide students personalized feedback on their written assignments, along with an assignment score. Teachers can make comments or ask questions before asking students to revise their responses if needed. This functionality provides an opportunity for formative assessment, allowing teachers to check student understanding, which can inform future instruction.

Because these assignments are open-ended, we do not provide answer keys or auto-grade the assignment. It’s up to your discretion on how you want to review and grade student work. Tips for providing feedback can be found in this blog post.

1. To review written assignments, you can find a specific assignment under Tasks. You can also click View Assignments under My Classes on your dashboard and then click See Responses for the assignment you want to review.

2. On this page, you will see the status of student submissions, which is color-coded to help you quickly see who started or completed assignments. We also provide a “time spent” column to give you insight into how long students have spent on each assignment.

3. Click on a student’s name to review their work. 

4. You have the option to score the assignment out of 5 points. You also have the option to provide written feedback for students. 

5. If you’d like a student to revise their work (or maybe they submitted incomplete work), check the Student needs to revise box to allow students to edit their assignment and re-submit back to you.

6. After you add your grade and/or feedback, click Submit or Submit and next student to automatically bring up the next available assignment to review.
