Adding a Comment

Comments can be added to an assessment to:

1. Add additional explanation or clarification to the assessment (by the student who assessed the piece of work);
2. Query the statements made in the assessment (by the student whose piece of work is being assessed;
3. Try to resolve difficulties which may have arisen during the discussion on the assessment (by the teacher);

The aim of the comments is to try either reach agreement on the current assessment or persuade the assessor to revise their assessment. This discussion should be undertaken in a reasonable way.

If the work is reassessed then the old comments are discarded and are no longer shown with the new assessment.
