CoGrader’s Quiz Grader lets you upload quizzes, provide an answer key, and automatically grade student submissions. Here’s how to use it from start to finish.
Step 1: Open the Quiz Grader
From your CoGrader dashboard, click Grade Quiz.
This option is for grading multiple-choice or short-answer quizzes where you want answers compared against a key.
Step 2: Create a New Class
When prompted, choose one of the following:
Import from Google Classroom → If you’re bringing in a quiz from Google Classroom, on the Google Form, make sure the form is set to “Make this a quiz” under Settings.
Without it, CoGrader won’t recognize the form as a quiz.
Create manually → Set up a brand-new class and assignment.
Create from existing → Reuse a class you’ve already created.
Fill in your class name and assignment name, and select the grade level (Elementary, Middle, High, or Higher Ed).
Step 3: Add or Upload an Answer Key
The answer key tells CoGrader how to grade your quiz. You can:
Upload a file (Image, PDF, DOCX, TXT, or CSV). The file can even be just the questions without the answers, and CoGrader will infer answers.
Create manually → Enter each question and its correct answer directly.
Select from your list → Reuse a saved answer key.
Once uploaded, CoGrader will prepare the key. You can then review each question, set point values, and mark the correct answers.
🔹 Step 4: Upload Student Submissions
Choose how you want to add student work:
File Uploads
Upload PDFs, Word documents, or images.
CSV Uploads
Ideal for uploading multiple students' work in one file.
CSV Format Requirements:
name | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 |
John Doe | The water cycle | Photosynthesis | B | A |
First row: must contain clear headers (
name,Q1,Q2, etc.)The first column can be labeled
nameand matched under “Student Name” during import.Each question (Q1, Q2, etc.) should be mapped correctly to the corresponding field during CSV import.
Step 5: Review Results
Once processing is complete, CoGrader will:
Match student answers against the answer key.
Mark correct and incorrect responses.
Provide AI-generated feedback explaining errors.
You can then adjust scores or feedback manually if needed.
Step 6: Export Grades and Feedback
When grading is complete, you can export results in multiple ways:
CSV or PDF → Downloadable reports.
Print → For in-class distribution.
That’s it! Your quiz is graded, and students receive clear, actionable feedback.
