Student Feedback Report: Teachers' Note
-
@Alan-68 maybe hide the initials
-
@Anurag I thought about it but "MX" could be anyone. And it illustrates Jennifer's point. :)
-
@Alan-68 In their defense, I was forced to leave a teacher's not a few times by the system (a long time ago), and I had nothing to say about the student, so I wrote exactly that - nothing to say, system forcing me. Maybe the teacher had the same problem?

In all due respect @Marija-3 I find that hard to believe. More than likely, the teacher accidentally clicked "other" and then tried to submit the progress report, but of course wasn't allowed as the input was blank and required to be input. The teacher just needs to click "other" again, which will deselect it.
I have seen lots of classes by the same teacher (same wording, same syntax) who is not "MX" post the same comments over and over in the teacher's notes, and it's not helpful input.
As @Jennifer-M 's PDF posts show, there is only a maximum of three that are available at any time.

@Alan-68 Fair enough, this happened long ago, and it was a temp system glitch. And yes, we've all seen that other teacher's notes, not helpful in the least.
-
@Alan-68 I hate seeing the N/A because it bumps my notes off since only a max of 3 are allowed. Then I forget what I previously wrote.
-
@Alan-68 Well, I think this teacher, and potentially others, just wanted to raise the issue that some students do have concentration or learning difficulties but didn't bother to elaborate on them more (e.g., due to time cost and hourly pay ratio).
In these cases, do you prefer they not to select or leave anything at all then (?
-
@Chien-Hao Yes, it is preferrable they write nothing than something that pushes other useful feedback off the list.
-
I came across another good example of what not to do/write today when I was previewing the teacher notes for a student.
-
These Teacher Notes are a great example of clear, useful feedback. 😊

I’m resurrecting this post because I'm noticing this happening frequently again. Please remember that the Teacher’s Note section is optional and should be used only for information relevant to student learning.
-
@Jennifer-M Thank you for bringing this post back up. I’ve noticed the same thing as well. If a teacher is going to provide something supplemental, it should be more than just a couple of generic words. It’s much more helpful when they share specific details about a student’s strengths and weaknesses, and/or background information such as their job, goals for learning English, etc. Of course, nothing too personal or private.
-
I've noticed this too.
I still don’t understand why the developers haven’t increased the entry limit to ten, matching the number of report fields. This would provide a clearer picture of what teachers write about the student.
