Cut grading time by having AI create quick, fair draft comments for student essays or projects.
When you have a stack of essays or projects to grade and personalized comments feel overwhelming, AI can speed this up by drafting feedback for you in minutes. First, pick 3-5 key areas you want to comment on (like argument strength, grammar, creativity). Next, copy a sample student response or description of the assignment into AI and ask it to generate feedback covering those areas. Then, review and tweak the AI’s suggestions to match the specific student’s work and your tone. Finally, copy and paste the edited feedback into your grading system. This process can cut your commenting time from 30 minutes per student to just 5-10 minutes, freeing up hours in your evening.
