Student feedback
Lab Report Feedback Assistant
A feedback workflow for helping students improve scientific explanations while keeping grading decisions in the instructor's hands.
What faculty used it for
The instructor used this workflow to generate formative feedback on draft lab reports. Students received suggestions about the clarity of their claims, the connection between evidence and interpretation, and places where figures or uncertainty statements needed more explanation.
Why it was useful
The workflow helped teaching assistants respond more consistently across sections. It also made the boundary clear: the AI assistant could suggest comments, but the instructor or teaching assistant still made final grading decisions.
