Before generation
Use this before sending feedback when a comment sounds positive or critical but may not tell the learner what evidence prompted it or what to do next.

Transparent method
How the actionable feedback checker works
Five pattern checks look for an evidence location, concrete revision verb, criterion link, future-focused wording, and more than empty praise. Each present signal contributes one point. Four or five signals suggest that the comment contains usable components. Human review must still confirm that the feedback is accurate, proportionate, accessible, and responsive to the actual work.
- 01Before generation
Read the work and approved criteria.
- 02During review
Check evidence, action, purpose, and tone.
- 03Before use
Invite clarification and give time to apply the feedback.
How to interpret the result
Actionable Feedback Checker
Worked example
The example identifies the claim as evidence, asks for a source-based example after sentence two, and connects the revision to a success criterion. All five disclosed signals are present.
Formula or methodology
Five pattern checks look for an evidence location, concrete revision verb, criterion link, future-focused wording, and more than empty praise. Each present signal contributes one point.
How to interpret the result
Four or five signals suggest that the comment contains usable components. Human review must still confirm that the feedback is accurate, proportionate, accessible, and responsive to the actual work.
Common mistakes
Do not add generic praise, list too many actions, rewrite the work for the learner, expose private information, or assume a keyword score proves quality.
Learning boundary
The checker cannot see learner work
It detects wording patterns only. A teacher must verify accuracy, fairness, accessibility, and context.
Review checklist
Human review before educational use
- The feedback names observable evidence.
- The next action is specific and manageable.
- The action connects to a learning goal.
- The learner has an opportunity to use it.
Practical questions
Actionable Feedback Checker questions
Does a 5/5 score mean the feedback is correct?
No. It means five wording signals were detected; factual and pedagogical review remains necessary.
Can I paste student work?
The tool does not need it. Enter only de-identified feedback text.
Should every comment include all five signals?
Use judgment. Short confirmations and longer revision guidance serve different purposes.
