Essay Feedback
Essay Feedback is the student-facing side of MyAE's assessment: a lecturer-style narrative that tells you what is working, what is weak and what you can do about it — in the tone of a supportive academic reader, not a grade-obsessed critic.
What it does
MyAE turns the structured academic assessment into a short, readable feedback report. You receive prioritised strengths and weaknesses, a lecturer-style narrative that explains your predicted band, and a checklist of specific improvements ordered by likely impact on the mark.
How it works
- Consume the structured academic assessment produced by Assignment Analysis.
- Rank each identified issue by its likely impact on the criterion score it belongs to.
- Generate a short (~150 word) lecturer-style narrative that reads like a real academic tutor's comment.
- Produce a prioritised improvement checklist — the changes most likely to move your predicted band upward.
What MyAE considers
- The rubric-mapped criterion scores from Assignment Analysis.
- Structural signals: argument coherence, evidence integration, critical depth, referencing.
- Academic level (undergraduate Y1 to PhD) so the tone of feedback matches the audience.
- Assessment type — essay, report, dissertation chapter, case study, reflective piece.
What you receive
- A prioritised list of strengths and weaknesses.
- A lecturer-style narrative explaining your predicted mark.
- A ranked improvement checklist — highest-impact changes at the top.
- Optional deeper dives per criterion when you want more detail.
Limitations
- Feedback quality mirrors the clarity of your rubric — vague criteria produce broader, less specific comments.
- Essay Feedback is a study aid, not a proofreading service. It focuses on academic quality, not surface-level copy-editing.
- MyAE does not rewrite your essay. Its role is to guide, not to author.
MyAE is a study-support tool operated by OpenDegree Ltd (registered in England and Wales, Company No. 17397971). It provides indicative, AI-assisted feedback and is not a substitute for your institution's marking.
Frequently asked questions
Will MyAE rewrite my essay?
No — MyAE gives you feedback, not a ghost-written draft. Rewriting your essay yourself, informed by the feedback, is what improves your writing.
Is the tone harsh?
No — Essay Feedback is written in the tone of a supportive academic tutor, not a marker looking for reasons to deduct.
How many improvements will I get?
Typically five to eight prioritised improvements per report, ordered by expected impact on the predicted grade.
Can I re-run after making changes?
Yes. Re-analysing after edits is exactly the intended workflow — the improvement checklist should shrink as you address items.
Does Essay Feedback replace my tutor?
No. It is a study aid to help you improve between tutor sessions, not a substitute for them.
