Here’s the worst feedback Exeter Uni students have received on their assignments

At one point in our degrees, we have all received constructive feedback on our assignments. And, while some feedback is helpful, most times it can be a form of tough love.

As term two comes to an end and deadline season is in full swing, Exeter students are met with feedback that not even a cheeky TP Venom could fix.

While tutors have been busy marking hundreds of essays, some seem to be competing for the most savage comments possible. So, with that being said, we asked Exeter Uni students for the WORST comments they’ve received on their assignments. And, wow, they did not disappoint.

‘Did you even read the assignment prompt?’

This one stings. You did read the prompt. But, understanding it? That’s a whole different story. You were just trying your best, queen x

‘My mind is boggling’

So is mine. That makes two of us. It’s nice to know this feeling isn’t only reserved for students.

‘Poor essay. Try harder otherwise you will graduate with a third-class degree’

Yikes, this one is very harsh… When I asked for constructive criticism, I didn’t mean to get brutally slated. This is definitely the uni version of “I’m not mad, just disappointed”. At least they care about your future?

‘This sounds like the least sexy Halloween costume imaginable’

Brutal, especially when I actually fancied wearing this outfit for Halloween 2025. Regarding the drinking, yeah fairs, maybe I’m just too immersed in uni culture there.

The academic equivalent of being left on read. A single punctuation mark that conveys multiple emotions. At least they only used one because two question marks is game over.

‘Oof’

This one is open to interpretation. Are they in physical pain from reading it? Or are they so impressed that they’re at a loss for words? If in doubt, always assume the latter… for your own sanity anyway.

‘Jargony…This is frustrating to read’

Imagine how frustrating it was to write it. Not even ChatGPT could help you out of this one…

‘I don’t think you even read the key text’

Another unrealistic expectation from tutors. Of course, students aren’t paying £30 for one book that they will never use again. It’s SparkNotes summaries all the way.
