"Sticks and Stones can break my bones but words can break my heart"
* Start with encouraging positive words and state what you love most about the student and their work
* Give constructive feedback that point them in the direction of improvement rather than dwelling on weaknesses
* Grade how you would want to be graded
* Find reason to reward
* Have a really good reason to fail somebody and let it be your very last resort
* Final follow up comments should be encouraging - "Keep up the good work!"
Words to avoid and better words to substitute with:
Don't use:
- Bad/poor
- Unacceptable work
- Irrelevant
Instead use:
- Inadequate
- Relevancy should be explained
- Illustrate in more detail
- Show evidence and/or explanation
