Allowing Students to Revise Work

Think a student’s written assignment submission could use some more attention and detail? Or maybe a student submitted incomplete work and you want to allow them to finish their assignment. Or you provided feedback on their writing prompt and want to give them an opportunity to improve their writing skills. 

You can easily return their assignment with your feedback requesting revisions! Check the Student needs to revise box at the bottom of the student’s assignment. It will return the work to the student’s dashboard with your feedback, and they can make the necessary revision and resubmit to you.

Here’s a breakdown of how to allow a student to revise a written assignment:

1. Click the assignment from the Tasks section of your dashboard or click the class name under My Classes and then click See Responses for the specific assignment. 

2. On this submission status page, click on the student’s name to see their submission.

3. Review the assignment (see this article for more) and leave feedback where desired. At the bottom of the page, check the Student needs to revise box and click Share Feedback with Student (or Share Feedback and Go to Next Student if you have additional student work to review for this assignment).

4. Your submission dashboard will be updated to reflect the student’s returned work.

Here is what your student will see:

1. The assignment will go back into the Upcoming Assignments section of their dashboard and be marked as “Returned.”

2. When they open the assignment, they will see your overall comments, as well as feedback for each section. Once they revise their assignment, they will click Submit when they are ready to resubmit.
