when they come across grammatical errors/spelling mistakes
they already corrected several times in the very same student's written
work like
"
this is what we did for the better part of last year, so do try to keep in mind that the plural of man is...."
I found that tongue-in-cheek comments often get quite nice results.
Still,I'd like to know if there are
any hard and fast rules/ any pre-fabricated phrases
as to how to put the academic achievement of an A, B , C ... into words ?
