Have AI pre-mark essays and exams
Teachers have essays and exams pre-marked
Fits: Teaching & education
The AI flags spelling, missing parts and weak evidence against your marking scheme. You mark faster and more consistently, and you still set the grade yourself.
Is this for you?
- You regularly mark lots of essays, argumentative texts or exams with open answers.
- There is a marking scheme or assessment sheet that you follow anyway.
- The school, school authority or university provides an approved tool or wants to introduce one.
Without any pupils’ texts at all, not even typed up or without names: write a short practice text yourself with built-in mistakes for one of your tasks and have it pre-marked against your marking scheme with the template below. Check what the AI finds, what it misses and where it is too strict or too lenient.
How to go about it
- Set the marking scheme and the AI’s role
- Clarify whether the exemption applies
- Test the pre-marking for bias
- The AI pre-marks, you assess
- Inform the class, parents and students
- Compare the pre-marking with your own marking
