Explore the grading features

TurboGrading supports assignment submissions and written-response exam questions. It generates suggested marks and feedback using the submission and your grading guidance. The exam workflow focuses on written answers; multiple-choice questions are excluded from AI grading.

Assignment submissions can include PDF, Word (.doc and .docx), PowerPoint (.ppt and .pptx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV and TSV, PNG and JPEG images, Power BI (.pbix), supported text and code files, and ZIP bundles of documents and code. Exam attachments support a smaller set of formats. Available formats and upload limits depend on the grading workflow.

Yes. Provide assignment requirements, rubric guidance, and additional instructions to guide the evaluation. Supported Brightspace assignment rubrics can receive scores and feedback for individual criteria. Exam settings also let you save grading instructions, feedback instructions, and a reference PDF.

Yes. Review the results in your LMS, edit the feedback, and change suggested marks to reflect your judgment. Use draft or manual saving preferences when you want to review results before sharing them with students.

This depends on your preferences and LMS. Brightspace supports automatic draft saving or publishing, or leaving results open for review. Blackboard can save overall feedback; review and post grades using Blackboard's controls. Keep automatic publishing off if you want to review each result before sharing it.

Some work needs additional evidence, such as a report PDF or screenshots for Power BI visuals. Supported Brightspace rubric grading can return a labeled provisional grade based on assessable criteria, with other criteria identified as excluded. Provisional results require your review and are not published automatically. Otherwise, grading may stop and explain what needs instructor review.

Your TurboGrading dashboard lets you revisit recorded assignment evaluations and exam attempts, including grades, feedback, and the grading context saved with each evaluation. These records show the saved evaluation; later edits in your LMS are not automatically reflected.

The Plans page lists current packages and their grading allowances. Your dashboard shows your available credits and usage so you can check your account before starting more grading.
