How do I post student feedback?
Instructors use a comma-delimited (CSV) spreadsheet file to present individual feedback and/or grades to students. This spreadsheet file must follow a particular format:
- Your file must be saved in .CSV format. You can save Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as CSV files.
- The first column of your file must contain individuals' usernames in lower case.
- The first row of your file must contain headings; every column must have a heading.
Once you have created your file, you can modify it as you wish, as long as you stay within the guidelines above.
Tip: You can download a template that contains the proper format that includes the student usernames under Gradebook2 / Tools / Download New item Template (See How do I download a Gradebook2 Template?)
Example of a properly formatted CSV file.

Click Choose a CSV file. Locate the .csv file on your computer (or in Resources) and click Open / Continue.
Verify the upload by clicking Save.
The first row of data will be previewed for you. If everything looks correct, click Save.
