I read an article about nonevaluative feedback in education.

Root Explanation

Nonevaluative → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "evaluative" (from Latin "valere", meaning to be worth or to have value). The word "nonevaluative" means not assessing or determining the worth or value of something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') assessing 'value' ('evaluative') — that's why nonevaluative means not determining worth.
