• It is not possible to set a (mandatory) reflection on the assessment. The FeedbackFruits tools do give you the opportunity to set a mandatory reflection.

• Grading a product is more objective, purposeful, and instructive when given based on an assessment matrix (rubric). By making these criteria explicit, they support the student in understanding the commentary¹. In doing so, it is then visible to students what they should have done differently to receive a particular final assessment.
• Share the assessment matrix (rubric) of the assignment at the beginning of the block; this way students know what the requirements for successful performance are². Ideally, you should also use this matrix when giving feedback on a draft version of the assignment.
