Viewing Feedback

Once your teacher releases results, your submission shows Marked with a green tick in Marked Submissions on your dashboard. Open it there, or from the class's Assignments tab, where it has a green Marked tag.

Your work is on the left and the feedback panel on the right. Scroll down to move through your pages; the top bar shows which page you're on, your Grade (e.g. 44/50) and Export, which downloads a PDF of your marked work. The Export menu also has Export without Score, and lets you switch between Scroll through pages and One page at a time.

On a phone, the feedback panel sits below your work. For the full view, use a computer.

Submission with feedback panel and top bar callouts

Your Work, Annotated​

Your submission shows as a PDF with numbered markers in the margin. Each number points to a coloured bar beside the part of your work it comments on. Click a number to highlight that part and jump to its comment in the right-hand panel. Comments are labelled by question (e.g. Q1, or Q1(a)(i) in QnA assignments).

The Feedback Panel​

The right-hand panel shows your feedback. What you see depends on the assignment type.

Essay assignments have two tabs:

  • Feedback - every comment, in order and grouped by page. The number at the top right is how many comments you have. Click a card to highlight its part of your work.
  • Overall - feedback on your whole submission. Depending on what your teacher added, you'll see:
    • Score - your marks for each part of the marking criteria (e.g. Content and Language)
    • Teacher's Comment - your teacher's personal note on your work
    • Strengths (green) - what you did well
    • Areas for Improvement (amber) - where you lost marks, and why
    • Action Steps (blue) - what to try next time

The Overall tab with your score and teacher's comment

QnA assignments mainly use the Feedback tab. Each comment is labelled with its question and the marks it gave (e.g. +2). Below your work, a row of question tags shows your score for each question (e.g. Q1 2/2). The Overall tab only appears if your teacher left a comment.

Your teacher's comment

Your teacher's comment on your whole submission, if any, is in the Overall tab under Teacher's Comment. It's a personal note, separate from ren.'s feedback.

If Your Teacher Hides Scores​

Your teacher can choose not to show scores. You still see all the comments, the numbered markers on your work and the Overall feedback. You won't see your grade, the score breakdown, the marks on each comment or question, or a percentage on your dashboard (it says Graded instead). Export then downloads your work without the score.

Report a Problem With a Comment​

Does a comment not match your work? Click the flag icon on its card (Report a problem with this comment) and pick a reason, such as Hard to understand or Not about what I wrote. You can add a few words, then click Send or No thanks. Only the Ren team reads this.

Sometimes ren. also asks you a quick question about a comment, for example "Did you understand this comment?". Answer Yes or No, or click Skip.
