Select Posted Feedback from the Course Navigation Menu.

Under Add/Update Feedback, select the Download your course template link and save the template.csv file to your computer.

Open the template.csv file in a spreadsheet editing program, such as Microsoft Excel. The template spreadsheet includes three columns of data:

1. Login ID, each student's UVA computing ID,
2. Last Name,
3. First Name.

Of these columns, only the Login ID is required to associate each student with the appropriate feedback and upload the spreadsheet. However, it is recommended that instructors keep the Last Name and First Name columns in the spreadsheet because it will allow them to sort uploaded feedback files by student name.

Edit the spreadsheet as follows:

1. In the first row, enter a title for each column where you will add feedback. Pictured above is an example where two columns have been added, First Draft Feedback and First Draft Grade (max B+).
2. In each student's row, enter their feedback or grade in the corresponding column. For example, tls6u-student-2 in the example above has the following information added:
   • First Draft Feedback: This is a good start, but the thesis could be stronger. I would like to see more supporting evidence in the final draft. Please see detailed comments in the Word document I provided.
   • First Draft Grade (max B+): C-

You will need to save the edited spreadsheet in the CSV format. While saving the file:

1. It is recommended to change the name of the file from template to something more meaningful, for example Paper Draft Feedback and Grade.
2. Make sure the file format is CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv).
3. Select Save.

Go back to the internet browser window where you had Posted Feedback open.

Under Feedback File (CSV), use the Choose File button to browse for and select the spreadsheet file to upload.

By default, the Title of the feedback file that will be displayed to students is the name of the spreadsheet file, e.g., Paper Draft Feedback and Grade.csv. You can edit this title as desired. For example, you might remove the .csv on the end of the name.

1. If you are ready to release the feedback to students as soon as the file is uploaded, select the Release feedback to participants? checkbox. You can leave the checkbox unchecked to keep the feedback hidden from students and release it to them later.
2. Select Upload.

1. A green message will appear under the instructions for using the Posted Feedback tool indicating that the file was successfully uploaded.
2. The newly-added file will appear in a table near the bottom of the page, which includes the following:
   • Title,
   • Modified By, the instructor who uploaded the file,
   • Last Modified, the date and time when the file was uploaded,
   • Released, whether or not the feedback from the file is currently visible to students,
   • Actions, a menu with options to View the file, access a Student View of the file, Edit its Title, Upload a New Version, Download the file, Release or Unrelease the feedback to students, and Delete the file.

After you upload a file to Posted Feedback, an Unpublished folder named Posted Feedback (Do NOT Publish) is automatically created in the Files tool of your Canvas course to store the CSV files.
