How are you supposed to know whether a comment is “this is a standard good for a B, improve for an A” or it’s a “this is good enough for a C, improve for a B”.

Grades don’t prevent students who are there to learn the material, but they do harm students there to get the grade, and since the corses we are talking about are prerequisites to graduate it’s reasonable to expert at least some people to be there for the grade.
- aidenn0 5y agoI don't know if I'm agreeing or disagreeing with you, but I once got a paper back graded 56/100. The only written comment on it was "Good job! Almost an A paper" I guess assigning or not assigning a grade doesn't matter if the teacher can't provide constructive feedback.
- Traster 5y agoIt matters in that the 56 is what's going on your transcript and the feedback isn't.
