Grading

Review and grade student work

When students submit work through courses, you can review and grade it. AI can help grade automatically when you have answer keys.

Finding Work to Grade

1. Go to Students or open a specific Course
2. Click Needs Grading or Submissions
3. See all pending work

Each submission shows:

• Student name
• Which lesson and project
• When they submitted
• AI grade (if available)

AI-Assisted Grading

When your project has an answer key, AI can grade automatically:

1. Student submits their work
2. AI compares to the answer key
3. Each answer gets a score
4. Feedback is generated for wrong answers
5. You can review and adjust

What AI Provides

Field	What It Is
AI Score	Points AI awarded
Max Score	Total possible
AI Feedback	Explanation of what was wrong

Controlling What Students See

You can decide whether students see AI feedback right away or only after you review it.

Manual Grading

You can always grade manually or override AI:

1. Open the submission
2. View the student’s work
3. See AI grade (if any)
4. Adjust scores as needed
5. Add your own feedback
6. Save

For work without answer keys (open-ended responses), you’ll grade entirely manually.

Writing Good Feedback

Be specific

Instead of “incorrect,” say “Remember to carry the 1 when adding.”

Focus on the work

“This answer needs revision” instead of “You got this wrong.”

Give next steps

Point students to specific lessons or practice for improvement.

Grade Visibility

Control when students see their grades:

Setting	What Happens
Immediate	Students see AI grade right away
After review	Grades hidden until you approve
On date	Grades released on a specific date
