The Guide & Grade tab allows you to view student submissions and grade them quickly by question. Follow these steps to navigate to the Assignment Dashboard and then click 'Guide & Grade' in the left menu.

At the top of the Guide & Grade view, select which section of your assignment to view and grade. If your assignment has only one section you will see only one option.

On this page:

Short Response Sections

  1. Navigate to specific questions in a Short Response section using either the linked questions, or the dropdown menu below.

    💡Tip! Click 'Next to Review' in the top right corner to skip to the next question needing teacher review. Multiple-choice questions are auto-scored.

  2. While scoring a Short Response question you will see an answer key (if provided) at the top of the page. An AI Draft Score and Suggested Comment will show below each students' writing. You can edit and adjust the score and comment before submitting.

  3. Once you have scored submissions, click 'Submit' in the top window to save the scores and send comments to your students.

  4. If you want to see the writing for students who haven't clicked to submit, use the student filter to select "Active Students".

    Students who have not submitted will show their most recent writing and the option to send a comment (AI generated or teacher-written) to guide your writer.

Extended Response Sections

  1. When viewing an Extended Response section, you will see alerts for students needing attention with Authorship, Originality, and GrammarAid. Clicking on a blue link will auto-filter to show only those students for more focused review.

  2. Click 'Review Submission(s)' to view submitted writing in a full grading view, with rubric items and details. You can find this option at the top of the page, or by each individual student. Click here to learn more about grading with a full rubric.

  3. Below each student's writing you can share an AI-generated or teacher-written comment using the live chat. This allows you to conference instantly with students before you review their writing for a score.
