Reviewing Feedback in CoGrader
When reviewing feedback, it’s important to remember that feedback quality depends on rubric design and grading parameters. If the results don’t match your expectations, you can refine them in a few ways:
Check grading parameters: These allow you to adjust rigor, tone, length, and reading level.
Review rubric alignment: Make sure your rubric categories match the instructions given to CoGrader.
Please provide additional grading instructions: You can use the chat option to specify exactly how you want CoGrader to evaluate or phrase feedback.
Understanding Grading Parameters
When creating or reviewing an assignment, you’ll see customizable sliders:
Rigor: From Tolerant to Strict, or leave on Auto for AI-based adjustment.
Reading Level: Simplify for younger students or raise complexity for advanced learners.
Length: Concise comments vs. thorough, detailed explanations.
Tone: Friendly encouragement vs. formal academic tone.
These settings help ensure that the feedback matches both your rubric and your classroom needs.
