Between large classes, lunch duty, coaching, and lesson planning, grading can be one of the most tedious and most easy parts of the job to delay, even for the best teachers--particularly when it comes to grading essays. At best, the grading log jam that can occurs after a long paper is handed in can mean that students get anxious waiting for feedback. At worst, it can push back crucial lessons and knock the entire classroom off schedule. FlashFeedback fights this by providing students and teachers with immediate feedback and tracking students revision history from one draft to another, so that teachers can see how their ideas develop and evolve.
FlashFeedback works by combining machine learning and expert instructors. Experienced writing teachers have graded thousands of papers, and their input has been analyzed and learned by the engine supporting FlashFeedback. This analysis allows for students to get instant critiques of many aspects of their writing ranging from clarity, to support for their thesis, to the strength of their arguments. This means that teachers can spend less time grading and more time doing what they need to do--teaching.
Because FlashFeedback focuses on relatively high level skills, such as clarity and argument, we recommend it for high school students or gifted middle school students.
