Commenting on student work

When you add a file to your Digital Dropbox or pick a file to send to the Digital Dropbox, CourseCompass lets you add comments to include with the file. Students can add comments too, as shown here:  

To send comments on a file back to a student, you must send that student a new file. You cannot simply attach comments to a file in your Digital Dropbox and send it back to that student.

To do so:

1. Pick up a file submitted by a student.

2. Read it and grade it offline. Enter your comments in the file.

3. Change the file name (not just the file's title).

4. Send the new file back to the student.

5. (Optional) Remove the file from the Digital Dropbox to reduce clutter. You can retain the file on your computer for later reference.
