Giving Feedback: Comments
This page explains how to leave comments for your students right in the code editor.
Giving focused feedback is a key to helping students understand how they can improve. Tychos gives teachers the ability to leave comments in student code, attaching the comment to a specific line of code.
Step 1: Click on the line number
In the code editor (either the Initial State pane, or the Calculations Pane) you simply click on the line number to open up the comment dialog:
Step 2: Enter your comment
You will be prompted to enter some text. This will be viewable by the student. You can also edit this comment, or remove it by cliking on the line number again:
Step 3: Save the scenario, student can now view
Once you have added the comment, be sure to SAVE the scenario. This will add the comment to the student's scenario so that they can view it. The student views the comment by simply hovering the mouse over the icon that appears now to the left of the line number - a little green comment icon indicator:
The student can remove the comment by clicking on the little trash can icon.
