Are comments made on an assignment visible to the student, or just notes for the instructor?

I am grading some assignments, and I see an area to record comments.  Are those comments for ME, for future reference (notes on why I made a certain grade), or are they visible to the student?

When you use the comment box feature on an assignment, the student will be able to see those comments. They may receive notifications of your comments if they have that notification setting turned on, but they will also see them on their Dashboard under "Recent Feedback" as well as from their Student Gradebook.
