Grading work before you hand it in
The most useful feedback arrives before you submit, and it is the feedback students almost never get — handing a teacher a draft two days early is not usually an option. The AI Grader marks your finished work against the rubric it will actually be graded with.
Open AI Grader
In the Results section of the sidebar, below Grades. Have your finished draft and your teacher's rubric to hand before you start — the rubric is what makes the difference between this and generic writing advice.
Say which assignment it is
The first field asks Which assignment is this? — if your assignments are already in the app, pick one. It is optional, and the file name is used if you leave it blank.
Add your finished work
Under Your finished work you can paste the text directly or use Attach the file instead. Give it the real draft, not an outline — it is grading what you would submit.
Add the rubric
Under The rubric, paste the criteria or use Attach the rubric file. This is the step that matters most. Without it you get general writing advice; with it you get marked against the thing your teacher will actually use.
Fix the lowest criterion first
Feedback comes back criterion by criterion. One category is usually dragging the grade down more than the rest, and it is rarely the one you were worried about — fix that one before polishing anything else.
It is not your teacher
The mark it gives is an estimate against the words in the rubric, not a prediction of what your teacher will write. Treat the specific criticisms as the output and the number as a rough signal.
This is feedback, not ghostwriting
It comments on work you wrote. Submitting text you did not write is academic misconduct at essentially every school, and getting feedback on your own draft is what a writing centre does.
Common questions
What if my teacher didn't give a rubric?
You can still run it — you will get feedback on structure, evidence and clarity. But if there is any statement of what the assignment is marked on, even a few lines in the instructions, pasting that in changes the quality of the feedback substantially.
What file types can I attach?
Both the work and the rubric can be attached as files rather than pasted. If a particular file gives trouble, pasting the text is the reliable fallback.
Can I grade the same draft twice?
Yes, and that is the intended loop: grade, fix the weakest criterion, grade again. Past grading runs stay available so you can see whether the change actually moved anything.
