Final answer:
The statement 'You didn't do very well in that exam. That disappointed us' can be classified as judgmental, while a nonjudgmental version could be 'Your performance on the exam could have been better. We were hoping for higher marks.'
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'You didn't do very well in that exam. That disappointed us' can be classified as judgmental. The phrase 'didn't do very well' implies a negative judgment about the student's performance, and the follow-up statement expressing disappointment further reinforces the judgment.
A nonjudgmental version of the statement could be 'Your performance on the exam could have been better. We were hoping for higher marks.' This version avoids negative evaluations and focuses on constructive feedback and encouragement.
