Good practice

Add an [internal note](/v1/docs/internal-notes-per-student) on the student's profile that you updated the grade and why.

**Remember to provide feedback to the student as to why the mark was changed**: ![Feedback and notes when changing grades](https://cdn.document360.io/8ea693b1-555d-4973-acf4-f29e9965c563/Images/Documentation/feedback_notes.PNG)
