Grading is disappearing work. Once it’s done, it’s gone. But that doesn’t mean grading should take up as little of our time as possible.
If that were the goal, we could simply design every assignment so a computer could grade it. But that wouldn’t necessarily be best for our students.
Our first priority is our students: What kind of assessment or assignment will help them learn?
Then comes a second question:
How much of our time does that work deserve?
That’s where The Grading Audit comes in.
The Grading Audit is essentially a calculator that shows you exactly how much each assignment contributes to a student’s overall grade. Once you can see that, you can make better decisions about what deserves detailed grading, what can be graded efficiently, and what may not deserve much grading time at all.
The goal isn't to grade less.
It’s to match your grading effort to what matters most.
A simple Excel tool to help you match your grading effort to what matters most.
Not every assignment deserves the same amount of grading effort.
The Grading Audit helps you see exactly how much each assignment contributes to a student's overall grade so you can spend your time where it matters most.
Instead of treating every assignment as equally important, enter your grading categories, see the weight of each assignment, and use the built-in priority guide to decide where to invest your time.
