Not used by all tutors…very annoying, it should be mandatory! Much better for interpreting feedback . . . . I am now actually reading the feedback I love the fact that I can use it all over the world as long as I have an access to the Internet. It's crucial, especially for international students The feedback I have got from the old way is very little. With GradeMarkI can actually see what’s going on … which part goes wrong, which part goes right…it enhances my learning experience
