Viewing Teacher Feedback
This resource provides students with information for accessing and viewing teacher feedback in their learning management system (LMS) when using Lincoln Learning.
Viewing teacher feedback allows you to see how they performed on an assessment. Teachers may leave question-level or assessment-level comments as well as suggestions for which resources to review. Where you can view feedback varies depending on the LMS through which you access the Lincoln Learning content.
IMPORTANT: If an assessment retry is allowed, which can be set in any LMS, it is critical to review any teacher feedback prior to beginning the retry. Otherwise, the feedback may no longer be accessible.

An important part of learning is viewing teacher feedback. Checking feedback daily helps you to know what you should focus on when you work through a course. Feedback can be given in written, video, audio, attachment, or drawing formats. It may note strengths, highlight areas for improvement, or offer a chance to redo an assignment. You can view your grades for online and uploaded assessments in the Grades tab on the left panel in Canvas. Let's click the Grades tab to find out what is ready. A speech bubble at the end of each assignment row shows that an attempt was made such as work submitted or feedback is available. When you click it, you can view feedback in a side panel. To read the feedback within the assignment, click the name of the assignment. Your teacher may leave overall feedback for the assessment in the right panel. For mastery assessments, you may find question level feedback in either written or audio format. Above the question level feedback, there is a sample answer response to compare your response. You may also find a rubric above the question, which your teacher used to grade your work. Note, online assessment questions are auto graded, which will have auto generated comments. Reading your teacher's feedback after each assessment will help you build your understanding. Remember to check your scores and feedback regularly.
