Reviewing your marks and feedback in lessons

What to expect once your teacher has marked your lesson, where to find your marks for each question, and how to read the AI feedback on long-answer responses.

Written by Kat Morgan

After you submit a lesson, your teacher reviews it and returns it to you with marks and feedback. This article walks through what that looks like when you open a returned lesson.

How you know your lesson is back

When you open a lesson you've already submitted, the top right of the page shows the status:

  • Submitted means your teacher hasn't returned it yet. Your answers are locked, but you can't see marks yet.

  • Returned means your teacher has marked and released it. Now you can see how you did.

You can open the lesson the same way you would any other lesson β€” from the classroom view in your sidebar, or from your inbox if your teacher sent a notification.

Multiple-choice and Select All Correct questions

For each multiple-choice question, the correct option is highlighted in green and your answer is marked Correct! or Incorrect below the options.

The marks badge next to your answer (for example 2 / 2) shows how many marks you got out of the total for that question.

Select All Correct questions work the same way: each option you should have ticked is shown in green, and you'll see your total marks for the question at the bottom.

Long-answer questions

For long-answer questions, you'll see:

  • Your answer β€” the text, maths, images, or drawings you submitted, exactly as you sent them

  • Feedback β€” written feedback explaining your marks, with the marks awarded shown in the top right of the feedback panel

The feedback is generated using your work and the surrounding page context (the reading and other questions on the same page), so it's specific to what you wrote rather than a generic comment.

If your teacher edited the feedback after the AI drafted it, you'll see their final version. If anything is unclear, ask them about it.

Where your total marks live

The page indicator at the bottom left shows you which page you're on. Move through every page to see each question's marks. The total for the lesson is the sum of all the per-question marks.

If you think a mark is wrong

If you spot a question where you think the mark or feedback is off, talk to your teacher. They can re-open your submission, change the marks, and return it again. The lesson will switch back to Returned with the updated marks and a new feedback comment if they choose to add one.

What you can't change

Once your lesson has been returned, the answers are locked. You can read your work and your feedback but you can't edit anything. If you want another attempt, your teacher would need to give you a fresh assignment.

Where to go next

If your teacher has shared insights from the class with you, you may see an Insights button when looking at a returned lesson. That opens a summary of common misconceptions across your class β€” a useful way to spot the things to revise before the next assessment.
