Paper Grading

For teachers grading written work

Grade the stack. Keep the evening.

Paste the rubric and the student writing. Paper Grading scores each paper against that rubric, explains the points, and keeps a list of the mistakes that show up across the class.

How a paper gets graded

  1. 1

    Make a category

    One category is one assignment: an exit ticket, an essay, a lab claim.

  2. 2

    Save the rubric

    Paste it, or add photos of the rubric sheet. The assistant follows that, not a generic scale.

  3. 3

    Add the writing

    Paste one student at a time, or grade a stack you already saved in the category.

  4. 4

    Review the draft

    You get a score, which criteria earned the points, and error tags you can track next time. You can edit any of it.

Where the time goes

5–8 min

A careful grade on one short written response, when you are writing the comments yourself.

2.5–4 hrs

A class of 30 of those responses. That is the evening the stack usually takes.

About a minute

For the assistant to return the score, the point breakdown, and the error tags on one paper.

What is left is the review: agree, change a point, and move on. You still decide what counts. The draft is the part that used to take the evening to write from a blank page.

Plans

Start with 5 grades on the account. Move to a monthly plan when the stack is bigger than a sample.

Free

School

$50/month

One prompt grades one paper. Editing a grade yourself does not use a prompt. Monthly grades reset on the billing date and do not roll over. The free 5 stay on the account until they are used.
