Instructors provide responses, comments and
advice on assignments that have been
submitted to help you improve and understand
your score. It is important for you to seek that
feedback and read those reactions so that you
do not repeat errors and can follow the
recommendations that may not be found
elsewhere. Feedback and comments provide a
wealth of information, but you need to access
it to make the most of it.

3. RUBRICS FEEDBACK
in the DROPBOX

Rubrics are used to assess your achievement on
assignments in your course, based on predefined
achievement levels and assessment criteria.
They help ensure that activities are evaluated fairly
and consistently, and enable you to view the grading
criteria in advance of submitting assignments.
Your instructor MAY enter personalized feedback for
you on the rubric, which will appear in the feedback
area of the folder.
How rubrics relate to your grade:

Rubrics can be attached to any Dropbox assignment,
Discussions, or ANY assessed item in a course.
