Developing Human Resources

Grading Course Feedback Memos

Please add “graded by [your name]” to the name of the document.

Please also put your name on the first page of the paper.

Use comments or track changes to give feedback.

Your task is to assess how well the writer has followed the guidelines in the assignment for giving feedback. These guidelines include:

Basic guidelines

Include positives as well as negatives, if possible.

Be as specific as possible about problems or concerns; avoid using vague terms (Instead of “the course is boring,” try, “I found the class on xyz to be dull because …” Instead of “I am not learning very much,” something like “I was hoping to learn abc.”)

Do the same with suggestions for improvement: Be concrete.

Avoid over-generalizing (using words like “always” or “never”).

Don’t speak for others without hard data that you can reveal to the person being given feedback. (Saying “Lots of people feel this way too” is simply unhelpful unless you have credible data that the person receiving feedback can use or follow up on in some way. The anonymous feedback posted on NYU Classes gives you real data to use, if you wish).

Advanced guidelines:

Clarify your assumptions; admit your own frame.

Don’t assign blame; explore the contribution system.

Balance advocacy and inquiry: State your opinion but ask if the other person sees the situation differently or other relevant questions.

Think about the quality of your questions: Are they open-ended or close-ended? Do the questions come from inside the feedback-giver’s frame or are they more neutrally stated?

In addition to giving the number of points, give specific feedback about why you have given that grade.

Please post the graded paper under Assignments. You can tell your classmate the grade if you wish; however, there is a small chance it will be changed. I will review each assignment and write comments. I reserve the right to change the grade, but will do so only if I think someone has been given an unfairly low grade. Therefore, I will only raise grades, not lower them.
