Completing Your Review

Once you open the review, you’ll receive a short onboarding, where we’ll ground you in the criteria you’ve been requested feedback on, as well as any instructions that the instructor and student who has requested feedback, may have provided.

Providing Ratings and Comments

For each criterion, you will see:

  • The criterion name, e.g., communication, professionalism, teamwork

  • A description, of what the criterion covers

  • A rating scale, (if applicable) select the rating that best reflects your assessment

  • A comment field, leave written feedback with your thoughts, suggestions, or observations

Go through each criterion and provide your rating and/or comments. The criteria shown are the ones the student selected when creating their feedback request, they have chosen the skill areas where they most want your input.

When providing your feedback, draw on your direct experience with the student. Consider specific situations, interactions, or examples that illustrate their strengths and areas for development.

Stopping and Resuming

You can stop your review at any time and return to it later using the same link from the email. Your progress will be saved automatically. This means you don't need to complete the entire review in one sitting. You can always see your progress using the progress bar at the bottom.

Feedback Overview

Once you finish up providing feedback, you’ll see a final summary page. This will help at a glance see the ratings and feedback you’ve provided, as well as any missing feedback you may still want to provide.
