comments vs feedback

[KATHERINEFISSE]

Hello, when I give feedback to my kids , I do it through the comments section. It is not annotated feedback, just a comment on the assignment. My question is: if I ONLY LEAVE A COMMENT, will the "view feedback" notification still pop up next to the assignment in the the grades tab? Or does it have to be annotated feedback for that to happen? I am trying to figure out how to tell my kids to look for their "feedback" (which is a comment) or how they will be notified that I commented on the submitted assignment. Thanks.

I am not sure if you posted this to your instructors post or not, but this is a world wide forum for discussing Canvas.  I suggest you reach out directly to your instructor to find out about your English 1A course.

Yes.  You are correct.  If you leave a comment about the assignment, the feedback icon does show up in the student grade view.  I just tried that out on an assignment for my dummy student .  I added a comment in the comment area for the assignment in speed grader.  before the comment, no feedback icon showed.  After submitting the comment it showed up.
