Free tool
Reusable feedback comments, straight from your rubric
You type 'strong thesis, but cite your sources' forty times a term. A comment bank fixes that, and your rubric already defines exactly what feedback should say. Upload the rubric and get ready-to-paste comments for every criterion at every performance level.
How it works
Step 1
Bring your rubric
Upload it as a PDF, Word document, or screenshot, or paste the text. Any rubric with criteria works, levels optional.
Step 2
Get the bank
Three reusable comments per criterion per level: specific, constructive, and written to the student.
Step 3
Copy as you grade
Copy individual comments while grading, or copy the whole bank into the document where you keep your feedback snippets.
Why instructors use it
- Comments grounded in your actual criteria, not generic praise
- Covers every performance level, including the hard-to-word low end
- Pairs with the Rubric Converter: convert a rubric, then bank it
Common questions
What if my rubric has no performance levels?
The builder generates comments for strong, adequate, and needs-work tiers for each criterion, so you still get a usable range.
Are the comments written to the student or about the student?
To the student, in second person, one to two sentences each, ready to paste into a gradebook or feedback box.
Can I save the comment bank?
