Your guide to providing outstanding feedback on Evaluation

Overview:
In the Feedback stage, all the comments and evaluations from your peers will be revealed to you, while their identity remains anonymous. You have the opportunity to give feedback to the evaluators based on the quality of their comments and help them adjust their feedback delivery in future evaluations.
You will need to score your peers based on their Criticalness and Motivational level first before seeing the numeric grades of your creation.
You are required to give your feedback through plotting their comments on a scale of how motivational (ranging from Discouraging to Very Motivational) and critical (ranging from Ineffective to Great Critique) it was. You may also submit a comment for further instruction.
While there isn't a correct answer to how to grade other students on their evaluations, consider how you feel about receiving the comments that you got and grade them accordingly.
For example, if your peer praised your work heavily but gave no directions in where you could improve, you might score them a Motivational (3) but a Unhelpful (2).
If you choose a level 1 or 4 for Motivational, you will be asked to provide a minimum 75 character count feedback comment. Providing a written feedback is optional if you chose level 2 or 3 in any category or any category for Critical. But, keep in mind that your peers will take this feedback into consideration for future evaluations so it can be helpful to provide some thoughts on why you chose to grade your peer a certain way.
<aside> ❗ Note: Once you have pressed Save & Submit on your feedback, you cannot edit your feedback because you will see the Evaluations and grade. This is to prevent bias, as students may feel compelled to change feedback after reading the results.

If you are in the Feedback Stage and the activity is a Group Activity, you will need to wait for the other members of your group to complete their feedback before having access to see yours. This is to prevent bias and sharing of grades among group members for those who haven't completed it.
