Speed up grading by having AI draft feedback for multiple student essays in one prompt session.
When you face a pile of student essays to grade and personalized feedback is a must, you can save time by batching the work with AI. Instead of feeding one essay at a time, gather key details or excerpts from several essays and ask AI to draft distinct feedback comments for each. This approach lets you review and tweak all feedback together, cutting the back-and-forth and speeding up your grading process. You keep control over tone and specifics but avoid starting from scratch repeatedly.

“You are a high school English teacher grading five student essays on 'The Great Gatsby.'

Write personalized, constructive feedback for each essay in a warm, encouraging tone.”
