  2. Click the graded item for which you wish to enter feedback. You can also enter individual feedback from the By Student tab. (You can not leave individual feedback when entering grades by group.)
  3. Click the pencil icon for the student you wish to enter text comments for.
  4. Enter your text feedback/comment.
  5. Click Save Feedback.

To remove individual text feedback, click the trash can icon beside the feedback.
