Problem
Grading academic assignments is a time-consuming and repetitive task for educators, diverting their attention from higher-value activities such as instruction, research, and student mentorship. Existing AI grading solutions often require human intervention, failing to fully alleviate the burden on faculty and teaching assistants.
Solution
Determinant Technologies offers Grady, an AI-powered grading solution that fully automates the evaluation of academic assignments, quizzes, and exams. Grady eliminates the need for human graders in the standard workflow by using machine learning algorithms to independently assess submissions against instructor-defined rubrics. The system integrates with major Learning Management Systems (LMS) and provides students with rapid, detailed feedback to enhance learning outcomes. A proprietary grading anomaly correction engine further reduces the need for human oversight, while instructors retain the ability to review and override grades when necessary.
