Feedback¶
Turn your quick notes and observations into professional, thoughtful student feedback. Instead of staring at a blank page, give Mossie your bullet points and get a polished draft that sounds like you wrote it.
Inputs¶
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Student | Yes | Select from your classroom roster |
| Performance notes | Yes | Your bullet points, observations, or quick notes about this student |
| Tone | No | Supportive, neutral, or balanced (defaults to balanced) |
| Length preference | No | Brief, standard, or detailed |
| Time period | No | Which accumulated notes to draw from (this week, this term, etc.) |
| Output language | No | Language for the generated feedback |
What You Get¶
Professionally worded feedback including:
- Balanced observations -- What the student is doing well and where they can improve
- Specific examples -- Drawn from your notes, not generic statements
- Actionable suggestions -- Concrete next steps for the student
- Appropriate tone -- Matching the tone you selected
If Voice Learning is enabled, the feedback reads like you wrote it -- using your vocabulary, sentence patterns, and tone.
How It Uses Your Data¶
Mossie pulls from the performance notes you have accumulated for the selected student. These are the observations you have captured throughout the term via:
- Text notes in the Classroom view
- Voice captures linked to the student
- Activity logs mentioning the student
The more notes you have captured, the richer and more specific the feedback.
Capture Notes Throughout the Term
The quality of generated feedback depends directly on the notes you have captured. A few quick observations each week makes report card time dramatically easier.
Example¶
Your notes:
- Improved participation this month
- Still struggling with fractions, especially word problems
- Great group work in the science project
- Needs to proofread written work more carefully
Generated feedback (balanced tone):
Sarah has shown pleasing improvement in her class participation this month, contributing more actively to discussions and group activities. Her collaborative skills were particularly evident during the recent science project, where she worked effectively with her peers.
In Mathematics, Sarah is developing her understanding of fractions, though word problems remain an area for continued practice. I would recommend working through fraction word problems step by step, focusing on identifying what the question is asking before calculating.
In her written work, Sarah would benefit from building a proofreading habit -- reading through her work once before submitting would help her catch errors she is capable of correcting on her own.
Tips¶
- Be honest in your notes -- The AI works with what you give it; candid observations produce useful feedback
- Include positives -- Even brief positive notes help Mossie generate balanced feedback
- Mention specific skills -- "Struggles with fractions" is more useful than "needs improvement in maths"
- Try different tones -- Supportive tone works well for struggling students; balanced for general feedback
- Edit before sharing -- The output is a draft; add your personal touch before sending it home
