Giving Feedback Using AI - Amazing or Impersonal?

I have been looking over all of the content that I have been producing and sharing with you and I have noticed that the majority of what really seems to do well is the “practical how to content” walking you through how you could use AI for various tasks.

So with that, I am going back to the basics and doing what you are asking for.

These prompts are starting points for you, take them and modify them as needed

Giving Feedback using AI

Prompt:

“I need some feedback for my student based on what I have graded for them so far. I will add the rubric, assessment and student work for you to see. I have removed anything identifiable about them but kept in their work, my graded assessment, the rubric and so on. What I need from you is some constructive feedback based on my assessment of the student that has some positive, areas for improvement and next steps. “

…… now that is a real prompt that I have used as a test to see if I can generate some feedback for a student. I made sure to remove anything that was identifiable to them as well as unique.

Then I did what I could to give context with the rubric, assignment and my instructions in addition to my actually assessment of the student.

The Goal was NOT to have the AI grade the assessment

BUT to have it take what I have already done with my evaluation/comments to then give me a variety of other ways to communicate what I have already done.

This process is not new but is a way for those who get stuck with saying the same old things, comments and feedback a new way to use words that were derived from your own assessment of the student already.

 

Where do we go from here?

I am going to be clear that this content takes time and effort. The value to me is the impact that I assume is happening and interest that it generates.

Using AI for anything takes wisdome and discernment in how and why you are using it.
