Speed up grading by combining AI with your own notes to create quick, personalized feedback batches.
When you have a stack of essays or projects to grade with similar assignment criteria, you can save time by preparing a short summary of each student's performance or key points you want to highlight. Then, paste these summaries into AI with a clear instruction to turn them into polished, personalized feedback comments. This way, you don't write each comment from scratch but still make feedback feel individual and specific. You can batch-process 10 or more students at once, then quickly review and tweak before sending. This works best when you create a simple template or set of feedback categories beforehand (e.g., strengths, areas for improvement, next steps). By combining your educator expertise with AI’s speed, you cut your grading time dramatically without losing the personal touch your students appreciate.
