Grading is Like Throwing Darts...

At TimelyGrader, we use a dartboard analogy to explain how AI and instructors can work together to deliver accurate, fair, and scalable grading/feedback. It comes from our Chief Learning Officer, Rob.

Here's how Rob explains it:

Thoughtful Grading, One Dart at a Time

When instructors grade each student, their focus and care show. Each dart lands near the bullseye meaning grades and feedback closely match the quality of the student’s work.

Scale Sets In

... darts miss the mark. Whether it’s solo marker fatigue, or inter-marker reliability, mistakes happen and students suffer.

AI Alone Misses the Bullseye

AI throws darts fast, grading lots of work quickly and consistently. But without human judgment, it misses the bullseye, leaving students with grades and feedback that don’t quite reflect their work.

Tag: AI Grading + Human

Human-in-the-loop = Bullseye!

With TimelyGrader, AI manages the speed and scale, while instructors bring the insight and context. Together, they deliver accurate, meaningful grades and feedback, hitting the bullseye every time!
