Rating	Assessment rating for an assessable staff comment.
Comment	The comment that is displayed if the student achieves the rating for the topic. To personalise the comments, either use: ? to replace the student's name in the output the male pronoun so that the correct pronoun is applied based on the student's gender. Depending upon their usage, gender-specific pronouns are: he or she him or her his or her himself or herself. Note: The female possessive pronoun has two versions (her, hers) where the male has only one (his), which can cause ambiguity when converting.
