Speed up grading by using AI to batch-generate personalized feedback for multiple students at once.
When you have 20 or more essays or projects to grade, writing detailed feedback for each can take hours. Instead of crafting each comment from scratch, you can use AI to create personalized feedback quickly by working in batches. First, gather a few example comments or common strengths and areas for improvement you see across your students’ work. Next, group students with similar performance or issues. Then, ask AI to generate tailored feedback for each group based on your examples. Finally, review and tweak the AI-generated comments to add your personal touch before copying them into your gradebook. This approach can cut your grading feedback time by more than half, freeing up your evening for other tasks.
