Reframe a Disappointing Assignment Grade as Diagnostic Feedback

The grade lands and the sting arrives before you have even read the comments properly. This reads the marker's actual feedback, names the two or three specific issues behind the number, and gives you one concrete change per issue, so next assignment is different rather than just hoped to be better.

You got {GRADE_RECEIVED} on an assignment in {SUBJECT} when you expected better, and the grade alone is not telling you what to change. Paste the marker's comments below.

Reframe the grade as diagnosis rather than verdict: identify the two or three specific issues the comments point to, not vague disappointment, actual named problems such as weak evidence, unclear structure, or a missed requirement, and for each one give a single concrete change to make in the next assignment. Do not soften the feedback or make it sound better than it is; state plainly what needs to change.
