Scrib.sheet: What Your Marker Really Means. Decode Feedback Comments and Know What to Fix

"Too descriptive." Three words, no explanation of what's wrong, why it happened, or what to change. Feedback like this isn't vague or harsh; it's precise shorthand for a problem you haven't been shown how to see yet.

This Scrib.sheet decodes the most common feedback comments you'll receive at university, grouped into four areas: Argument, Structure, Evidence and Language. For each of 19 comments you get what your marker actually means, why the problem happens in the first place, and exactly what to fix, plus a cross-reference to the Scrib. guide that teaches the underlying skill in full.

The back section shows you something most students are never taught: how to read the pattern across all your feedback, not just the individual comments, to find the one skill behind most of them.

Three exercises take you from matching comments to their type, to diagnosing a real weak paragraph, to rewriting an informal sentence in proper academic register, with a full answer sheet.

What you get 16-page PDF, instant download, yours to keep. Best for undergraduate, postgraduate and international students writing in English. 19 decoded comments across Argument, Structure, Evidence and Language. 3 exercises with a full answer sheet.

Bonus: how to read the pattern across your feedback and find the skill behind it.

One of two. This guide tells you what the comment means. Its companion, Making Feedback Actionable, turns it into a revision plan. Both together in the Feedback Bundle for £16: https://payhip.com/b/s439Q
