Though we can learn about feedback and its different methods, the biggest challenge I face is that students do not read their feedback.
On a regular basis I have students inbox me questions that have been responded to in my feedback. In the past, I would reiterate the feedback but then realized I was not teaching the students to use this valuable resource. My current response to students is, "Please refer to your feedback for detailed information regarding your grade. If you still have questions, after reviewing this important resource, please be specific in your question(s) when you write back.". This has worked best for me thus far, as students will write back and thank me for the referral to the feedback, however it has also backfired where students will accuse me of not wanted to answer their questions.
Has anyone found a way, to ensure students are reviewing their feedback fully, that works for them?
