2. Click on the + Add an Activity or Resource hyperlink.
   
3. Select Assignment activity, and click on the Add button.
   
4. Create the assignment as usual, with name, description and so on - if you wish to add feedback files, then ensure you select that option under the Feedback section
   See How to create an assignment
   [If you are giving feedback without a physical assignment being submitted, then make that clear in the instructions – "You don’t have to submit anything but look here for feedback"]
5. View the assignment as a teacher and click on View/grade all submissions hyperlink.             
6. All students are listed whether or not they’ve submitted anything
7. Click the grey pencil in the Grade column for the student of choice 
   
   
   
8. Type into the Feedback comments box (can be just a sentence) and add any files (response files) as attachments, e.g., mp3
9. Click on the Save changes button.
