Educator Edition · Assignment and rubric grading

Proposed rubric scores. Your final grades.

The local model reads each paper against one rubric criterion at a time and proposes a score, feedback, a suggested improvement, and supporting quotations. You review every proposal, adjust what you disagree with, and approve each grade yourself.

The workflow

Seven steps from rubric to approved grades

  1. Upload the assignment and rubric

    Import TXT, DOCX, or PDF files, or paste the text. Inspect the extracted text before you continue.

  2. Prepare the rubric criteria

    Let the local AI convert your rubric into separately scored criteria, or enter them yourself.

  3. Verify every criterion

    Check each criterion’s name, description, scoring bands, and point maximum against the original rubric excerpt shown beside it. Then confirm the rubric.

  4. Upload student papers

    Add up to 30 papers per batch.

  5. Generate proposals

    The model proposes criterion scores, feedback, suggested improvements, and supporting quotations, one paper and one criterion at a time.

  6. Review and adjust

    Open each paper, read it in full if you wish, and apply instructor adjustments to any score or comment.

  7. Approve and export

    Approve each complete grade, then export reports and the approved grade sheet.

Instructor review

Every proposal stays editable until you approve it

The review screen lists each criterion with its proposed score, the feedback to keep in the report, and a suggested improvement. Change any of them, then select “Apply instructor adjustment.”

Any edit after approval clears that approval. You approve the paper again once you are satisfied, so the exported grade always reflects your latest decision.

How it behaves

Important details about each grading request

What goes into a request

  • Each request includes the assignment, one confirmed criterion, and one complete paper.
  • Other student papers and course profiles are excluded from that request.
  • Original filenames are withheld from the model. Papers are identified by codes such as P001.

Names inside the paper text stay in the text. The dashboard does not remove them automatically.

How proposals are checked

  • Quoted evidence must appear in the extracted paper before a proposed score is accepted.
  • That check confirms the quotation exists. Whether it supports the score is your judgment.
  • Invalid or unfinished criteria leave the paper’s overall grade incomplete, and you can retry them.

How approval works

  • Instructor edits take effect when you apply them, and they require renewed approval.
  • Only explicitly approved, complete grades enter the CSV export.
  • Final grades remain the instructor’s responsibility.

Long papers

The Educator Edition uses a 16,384-token context window, which limits how much text fits in one request. A long paper can be too large to grade. The dashboard blocks that request and tells you, and it never shortens a paper silently to make it fit.

Limits

What the grading tool does not do

  • It does not assign final grades on its own. Every grade needs your approval.
  • It cannot guarantee fair or accurate scores.
  • It does not detect plagiarism.
  • It does not detect AI-written work.
  • It does not post grades to a learning management system (LMS). You export a CSV file and upload it yourself if you choose.
