Help & FAQ

Quick, plain-language answers to the most common questions about grading with GradeAid.

How do I create an account or log in?

Click Sign In, then “Create your teacher account.” Enter your name, email, your school (optional), and a password of at least 8 characters. After that, you can log in any time with your email and password.

How do I grade a single paper?

Go to the Grade page. Choose the grade level and subject, add your rubric (your answer key or scoring guide), and paste or upload the student's answer. Click Grade and you'll get a total score, a point-by-point breakdown, and overall feedback.

What is a rubric, and do I have to write one myself?

A rubric is your answer key or scoring guide — it tells the grader what a good answer looks like and how many points each part is worth. You can paste your own, or let the app draft one for you from a short description of the assignment, then edit it to taste.

Can I upload typed work and handwritten work?

Yes. You can paste text, or upload a typed file or a PDF. For a photo of handwritten work, the app first turns the handwriting into typed text and shows it to you to review and confirm — so you can fix any misreads — before any grading happens.

How do I grade a whole class at once?

Use the Batch page. Upload your class's answers (or a batch of handwriting photos) and the app grades them one after another, showing a “grading 3 of 30…” progress indicator. Each student's result appears as it finishes.

What if I disagree with a score the AI gave?

You're always in control. Open the grade and change any score or comment yourself — your override replaces the AI's number for that part. The app keeps a record of the change, and when grading a class you can apply a correction to everyone at once (and undo it if needed).

Where is my data stored, and who can see it?

Your account, your students, their work, and their grades are saved in the app's database and linked to your teacher account. Student information is treated as private — it's only visible to you when you're signed in.
