Use AI to speed up grading by creating a personalized feedback template tailored to each student's strengths and weaknesses.
When you have a stack of essays or projects to grade, start by reading one student’s work carefully and noting their main strengths and areas to improve. Then ask AI to generate a detailed, personalized feedback template based on those notes. This template will include positive comments, constructive suggestions, and next steps in language that sounds warm and professional. For the rest of your students, just adjust the key points (strengths and weaknesses) and let AI fill in the rest of the detailed feedback automatically. This saves you from writing each comment from scratch while keeping your feedback meaningful and specific. You can do this in just a few minutes per student instead of 20-30 minutes.
