How to write feedback headings that get the best AI marking

4 days ago
1 min read

The AI marks each heading on its own, like an examiner marking one question at a time. Clear, specific headings give you accurate grades and useful feedback. Vague headings give vague results.

Do

  • ✅ One thing per heading. Split "Spelling, punctuation and paragraphs" into three headings.

  • ✅ Say what students should show. "Explains how Shakespeare presents Macbeth's guilt" is better than "Macbeth".

  • ✅ Fill in "What to look for". List the key points, words or methods you expect. The AI uses this directly.

  • ✅ Use the question number if the work has numbered questions, for example "Q2: Calculate the speed", so the AI finds the right answer.

Avoid

  • ❌ One heading covering the whole piece of work. The AI can't tell you which part was strong or weak.

  • ❌ Headings that just say "Effort" or "Overall". The AI marks what it can see in the work, not effort, and it writes overall feedback for every student anyway.


Tip: If the AI keeps marking a heading differently from you, add more detail to What to look for. It's usually the quickest fix.
