Exam grading for teachers

How to grade handwritten exams with your own rubric

Set up your rubric, then upload the exam papers. grAider reads each submission and suggests a score and a comment for each scored criterion. Check those suggestions against the student’s work and decide how many points to award.

Start with your marking scheme

Enter criteria yourself, or upload an answer key and ask grAider to extract criteria. Check the wording and maximum points before uploading student work.

Partial credit when the unit is missing

Student work and draft feedback

The answer key gives 150 m. Your rubric awards one point for the number and one for the unit. A student writes “150”. grAider suggests 1/2 with the comment “Correct distance. The unit is missing.”

Your decision

You check the final line on the scan. It says “150” without “m”, so you keep the point for the distance and the comment explaining the missing point.

Frequently asked questions

Can I score parts of a question separately?

Yes. Give each part its own subcriterion and point value. During review, the subcriteria appear together under the question, each with its own score and feedback.

What if a criterion has no score yet?

“Not graded yet” means a result is still missing. Wait for grading to finish before checking the total and approving the draft.
