Grading

Feedback drafting

A first-draft comment, grounded in your rubric. Always your words at the end.

For submissions that need a written comment, feedback drafting generates a starting point grounded in the rubric items you applied and the work on the page. You edit it, send it, or trash it.

How it works

  1. Grade the question normally: apply rubric items first. The draft is built from them.
  2. Request a draft. InteGrade composes a short comment consistent with the deductions you chose and what the student actually wrote.
  3. The draft appears in the comment box as editable text. Nothing is sent or shown to a student until you decide.

What makes drafts good

The draft quality tracks your rubric quality. Specific items ("Chain rule not applied to inner function, -2") produce specific drafts. Vague items ("wrong, -2") produce vague drafts. See Writing rubric items.

The rule

Drafting never grades. It does not choose deductions, does not set scores, and does not send anything. It writes prose about decisions you already made, and the final text is always yours. See How InteGrade uses AI.
