Paper Grading

For teachers grading written work

A first draft of the grade, ready for your review.

Paper Grading is an AI grading assistant for teachers. Paste one paper at a time, along with the rubric. It suggests a point grade, a point breakdown, and error tags. You verify that suggestion and decide the grade. Charts then show the scores and the mistakes that repeat, on one assignment and across the class.

How a paper gets graded

  1. 1

    Name the assignment

    One category is one part of the work, such as Exit ticket, part 1. Give part 2 and part 3 their own categories.

  2. 2

    Save the rubric

    Paste it, or add photos of the rubric sheet. The draft follows that rubric.

  3. 3

    Paste one paper

    One student at a time is the way to work through a stack. Label the paper with the first initial of the first name and the first initial of the last name, such as JS, and use those same initials on every part.

  4. 4

    Read the draft and decide

    You get a score, which criteria earned the points, and error tags. The first pass is already written. You accept the grade or change it.

The time you get back

A few minutes

Paste one paper, read the score, the breakdown, and the tags, and then accept or change them. That review is a few minutes. The assistant already wrote the first pass.

5–8 min saved

That is a careful comment on one short response when you start from a blank page. You are not writing that first pass anymore.

2.5–4 hrs saved

A class of 30 of those responses. That is the evening the stack usually takes, and the time the first pass gives back.

You are not starting from a blank comment on every paper. Your expertise decides what stands. Change any point that does not match the rubric or the work in front of you.

Charts for the class

Scores show where students are landing. Error tags show the mistakes that keep showing up, and where a specific student is struggling.

This assignment

Open the errors report on a category to see the scores and the common mistakes on that part.

Across assignments

The charts page totals those mistakes from part 1, part 2, and the rest of the categories on the account.

One student

The same initials, such as JS, follow that student from part to part: their scores, and the mistakes that repeat in their work.

Plans

Start with 5 grades on the account. Move to a monthly plan when the stack is bigger than a sample.

Questions

What teachers ask before grading a stack.

  • What is Paper Grading?

    Paper Grading is an AI grading assistant for teachers. You paste a rubric and one student paper. It suggests a point grade, a point breakdown, and error tags. You verify that suggestion and decide the grade.

  • Does the draft follow my rubric?

    Yes. Paste the rubric, or add photos of the rubric sheet. The draft follows that rubric, not a generic scale.

  • What writing can I grade?

    Exit tickets, short answers, and longer written responses. One category is one assignment, or one part of an assignment such as Exit ticket, part 1. Paste one student at a time.

  • Can I change the score?

    Yes. You can edit the score, the point breakdown, and the error tags. The grade is the one you accept. Editing a grade does not use another grade credit.

  • Who can see student work?

    Student work and grades stay on the signed-in teacher's account. Assignment pages are not public.

  • How should I label a paper?

    Use the first initial of the first name and the first initial of the last name, together with the assignment, such as JS on Exit ticket, part 1. The same initials follow that student from part to part, so you can keep up with individual students without entering a full name. That is the recommended label, and it is there for privacy.

  • How much does it cost?

    A new account includes 5 free grades. Starter is $10 a month for 50 grades. Classroom is $30 a month for 200 grades. School is $50 a month for 500 grades. One prompt grades one paper. Monthly grades reset on the billing date and do not roll over. The free grades stay on the account until they are used.

  • Can I see mistakes that repeat?

    Yes. The errors report on a category shows scores and common mistakes for that assignment. The charts page totals those mistakes across the categories on the account. The same student initials follow a student from part to part.
