Leave feedback where it matters: on the code itself

Stop writing the same feedback on every submission. Comment on the code, save it as a snippet, reuse it all semester.

1. Point to the exact line that needs work

Telling a student "check your loop logic" in an LMS comment box doesn't help when they don't know which loop you mean. Inline comments let you click on any line of a student's code and leave feedback right there. Students see your comment attached to the exact code you're referencing.

  • Click any line to add a comment. Students see it in context when they open their submission.
  • Works across all file types and languages in the submission
  • Combine inline comments with rubric scores and autograder results in one view

2. Stop writing the same comment 80 times

Every instructor knows the feeling: typing "use meaningful variable names" on submission after submission. Snippets let you save your most common feedback and apply it with tab autocomplete. Build a library of comments once, reuse them all semester. Share snippets across your teaching team so TAs give the same quality feedback you would.

  • Create snippets on the fly while grading, no separate setup step
  • Tab autocomplete to insert any snippet in seconds
  • Share snippets across your teaching team. Personal snippets carry over between courses.

3. Review code the way developers do

CodeGrade's review interface works like a code review tool, not a grading portal. You see the student's code with syntax highlighting, navigate between files, and leave comments inline. If you've used GitHub PRs or GitLab merge requests, you already know how this works.

  • Syntax-highlighted code view with file navigation
  • Jump between submissions with one click using "next ungraded" navigation
  • TAs and instructors see the same interface, no training needed

Give every student feedback that actually helps.

Inline comments, peer code feedback, and an AI assistant that works on your terms. All in one place.
