Comment | Comment available to be included in student reports. See Entering stored comments to bring in similar existing comments. Gender references If your organisation is co-educational, gender Gender references (pronouns such as 'his', 'he', 'she', 'her' and so on) only change if the comments were written with masculine references. Gender references do not change if the comments were written with female gender referencesbased on the gender of the student the comment is recorded against. For example, the comment 'He has done well on his term project' would change to 'She They has done well on her their term project' , but 'She when copied from a male student to an other-gendered student. However, 'They has done well on her their term project' would remain unchanged when copied to a male student. If your organisation is single-sex then enter the comments as they should be for that gender. Name substitution Wherever a question mark (?) that has a space on each side of it is encountered in a comment, Synergetic substitutes the ? with the student's preferred name by default. Tip: If you want to include the question mark symbol without it being substituted with the student's preferred name, place the question mark symbol directly after the word that you want it to appear after. The system administrator can determine whether the student's given name or preferred name is used. See CommentName configuration setting in the Synergetic System maintenance manual. |
