Use AI to batch-create personalized student feedback by combining essay excerpts with tailored comments to save grading time.
When you face a pile of student essays to grade, instead of writing feedback from scratch for each one, use AI to speed up the process by batching tasks. First, copy short excerpts or main points from several essays into a single prompt. Then, ask the AI to generate personalized feedback for each student based on those excerpts and your desired focus areas (like argument strength, grammar, or creativity). This way, you spend a few minutes setting up the input and get back multiple tailored feedback paragraphs at once. You can then quickly review, tweak, and send, cutting your grading time dramatically while keeping feedback meaningful and specific.
