Student Feedback on an Image
Testing ChatGPT’s ability to give constructive feedback on student creative work.
Context
In creative coding classes, students often create simple visual outputs. I tested whether ChatGPT could provide useful, encouraging feedback on beginner work.
Prompting Strategies
Encouraging Feedback
“Give feedback as an encouraging instructor. Start with what works well.”
Technical Feedback
“What could be improved from a technical perspective?”
Next Steps
“Suggest three ways the student could extend this project.”
Results
- Good at identifying what’s working
- Suggestions were appropriate for skill level
- Needed guidance on what level of feedback to give
Tips for Educators
- Specify the student’s experience level
- Ask for specific types of feedback separately
- Review before sharing with students
