Speed up grading by quickly generating tailored feedback for multiple student drafts at once.
When you have a pile of student essays or projects to grade, writing unique feedback for each can feel overwhelming and slow. Instead of starting from scratch every time, you can use AI to batch-process your comments and save a ton of time. 1. Gather a few student excerpts or summaries that represent different levels of performance or common strengths and weaknesses. 2. Write a short description of what you want the feedback to focus on (e.g., clarity, argument strength, grammar). 3. Ask the AI to generate feedback comments tailored to each excerpt, specifying a warm and professional tone. 4. Review and adjust the AI-generated comments quickly to make sure they fit each student’s work. 5. Copy and paste the customized feedback into your grading tool or LMS. 6. Repeat with new groups of excerpts as needed to cover your whole class. This workflow turns hours of repetitive writing into minutes, freeing you up for other teaching tasks.
