[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure they aren't getting feedback?  I teach and ask for electronic submission of papers but I return the papers electronically with detailed feedback via track changes and comments using review features.  If students are really receiving nothing but a grade then I think you should ask the teacher about this.  A poor grade on a paper without comments is completely worthless.  The student learns nothing from the grade and learns nothing about how to produce a better paper the next time.  It would surprise me if multiple teachers are providing no critiques at all of student writing, so I'm wondering if the papers are coming back electronically with markup and you just aren't seeing them.

Hooray for you!  You sound like a great teacher.  My DC hands in papers electronically, and she only has one teacher who provides feedback done via electronic "sticky notes".  Most of the time when she hands in something electronically, she has to wait until the grade is posted on Edline -- that is the only feedback she would receive.  When kids turn in papers electronically and don't get feedback, it's a huge negative in terms of quality of education received.  When papers are returned with electronic comments, then I think it's fine.

The only caveat is that we do know a number of kids at school who don't have the same access as we do in our family to internet, computer, printer, etc.  For these kids, a blanket rule that papers must be turned in electronically can be problematic.  [/quote]
