The idea
Useful feedback is specific, based on evidence in the draft, and tied to the assignment's criteria.
In practice
Review the criteria, read the whole draft before commenting, then note what is clear, what needs explanation and what you want to know more about.
Where people slip
"It was good" helps no one; point to the sentence and say what it does or fails to do.
