Once your students have handed in their work, you can use CodeGrade's feedback features to give your students detailed and context-specific feedback on their code. CodeGrade offers two options for giving students feedback:
Inline: Click on a line of code to provide context-specific feedback.
General: Give feedback about students' general performance and points of improvement.
Markdown is supported in all feedback features.
Navigate to the Submissions page and click on one of your students' submissions.
If the student has submitted multiple files, use the Files panel on the right of the screen to navigate to the right file.
Click on a line you want to give feedback on. This will open the Feedback Panel which you can use to write your comments.
Click Save or press Ctrl + Enter to save your comment.
In your student's submission, navigate to the Feedback Overview tab.
Under General Feedback, click to start a new thread and type your feedback.
With snippets you can easily autocomplete commonly used feedback. CodeGrade offers both personal and course-wide snippets. Personal snippets can be managed in the Profile Panel in the sidebar. Course-wide snippets can be managed in the Course Management Page.
To create a Snippet, open the Feedback Panel by clicking on a line of code or editing an existing comment using the Edit button (pencil icon).
Press the Snippet button (book icon) to open the Snippets Panel.
Enter a keyword for the snippet and click Save.
Now, you can type your keyword into any Feedback Panel and select the Snippet to autofill your comment by clicking on it or pressing Tab and then Enter on your keyboard.
Feedback in CodeGrade is not just one-way. Each new comment an instructor makes in a submission is a new Thread. Using the Reply feature you and your students can have a discussion in each thread.
In your student's submission, click the Reply button (back arrow icon) to reply to a comment.
Type your message and click Save.
Grades and feedback are only visible to students after toggling the "Grades Published" toggle on the Assignment Management Page's general tab. Toggling this will also automatically synchronize your grades with your LMS.
