Give Written Feedback on a Student's Essay Without Doing the Revision For Them

Education Feedback Intermediate 🤖 ChatGPT 👁 4 views

📝 The Prompt

I have a student essay to grade. The student is bright but submitted weak work — the argument is buried, the evidence is thin in places, and the conclusion repeats the intro. I want to write feedback that helps them revise, not feedback that tells them exactly what to change (otherwise the next draft will be my essay, not theirs). Help me write comments that are: specific enough to act on, open-ended enough that the student has to make choices, and prioritized so they tackle the biggest issue first. Show me how to comment on a sentence that's wrong without rewriting it for them. Essay: [paste here].

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 1 bracketed placeholder ([paste here] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([paste here]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other education prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
