I found out fairly soon that just telling them something like “this is not good enough. you need to put in way more effort than this” is bad enough that some students would feel really bad and interpreted them as “i’m not good enough for this subject, i’m not worthy.”
Well, yeah. When I was in college if a professor had given me that as feedback I would have been annoyed. It tells me nothing on how to improve. It's not constructive or helpful and it's a little condescending. Of course they're putting effort in, they going into like $60,000+ into debt for it.
