Provisional Feedback Release

Learn how to release feedback provisionally (temporarily) within Cadmus 

Teachers using Cadmus Marker as the grading and feedback tool for their assessments can now release provisional feedback to students. Provisional feedback will only be available to students on Cadmus, whereas final feedback is released to the LMS. Unlike final feedback, provisional feedback can be continued to be edited post- release and released multiple times with updated/changed scores. 

NOTE: Final feedback would have to be released separately as provisional feedback is tentative. 

Irrespective of the feedback type selected, teachers will have the option to select the visibility and sharing settings to better control what part of the feedback (grades, comments, or both) students engage with.

To learn how to release feedback provisionally and set feedback visibility options, follow these steps:

  1. From the Moderation tab, click Release Feedback to be taken to the feedback settings panel.

  2. Select the Provisional Feedback option and click Next. To release the final feedback, click on Final Feedback.

  3. Select one out of the feedback visibility options - Full Feedback (answers, comments, and marks), Answers and Comments Only, or Marks Only. To enable students to download feedback as PDF and notify them when feedback is available, click on the toggle pill adjacent to the respective options.

    For Group Assignments, use the toggle pill next to Release individual work feedback separately to schedule and release individual feedback on a different date than group feedback. 

  4. In the next panel, select between releasing feedback for everyone in the class or selectively. If Release now for everyone option is selected, feedback will be released after clicking Next.

    If Release Selectively option is selected, schedule release or instantly release feedback, and withhold release for individual students or tagged students. Click +Add to schedule to add further details. After selecting the details, click Release now for everyone or Save and Continue to schedule feedback as per the details.



  5. Once feedback has been released, you will find a Provisional Feedback and Final Feedback section in the Moderation tab. At the top of these sections, you can find the number of students for whom provisional and final feedback has been released and other moderation score related statistics. Click the three dots on the right of student name in the list and click Withdraw feedback and confirm to remove all feedback for a student.
