I make marks and comments in text and the right margin.
Next to a comment, I may note deducted points. These numbers are comments for your information and may be duplicated elsewehere for tracking purposes.
I track deducted points either in the left margin or shape rubrics (see below).
A deduction of "–X" is a warning that points will be deducted in your next assignment for the
same error.
Deductions with "M" next to the number are
errors in writing mechanics (reasoning and style) that I am tallying separately from the assignment's content goals.
In the shape rubrics below, a checkmark (✔) means you lost no points for the item and a negative number means you lost that many points for the item. Each shape rubric is assignment specific.
