How the AI essay grader works
From rubric to finished feedback in three steps.
Add your assignment and rubric
Upload the prompt and your rubric as PDF or DOCX, or build one with the free rubric generator. Point-based, analytic and holistic rubrics all work.
Upload the essays
Add one essay or a whole class at once: PDF, DOCX or scans of handwritten essays. The essays are graded in parallel, each in a few minutes.
Review and approve
Check each score against the quoted evidence, change anything you disagree with, then export or share the feedback.
Why teachers grade essays with MarkInMinutes
Built for grading, not for chatting: structured, rubric-aligned and easy to check.
Your rubric, not a generic one
Each criterion of your rubric is scored on its own, with the weights you set. No hidden scoring model.
Evidence for every score
Each score quotes the sentences it is based on, so you can check a grade in seconds instead of rereading the essay.
Feedback students can use
Strengths, weaknesses and concrete next steps for each criterion, written for the student.
The same standard for essay 1 and essay 30
Calibrated level descriptions and a separate review pass keep scores consistent, from the first essay to the last one at midnight.
Handwritten essays too
Scan or photograph handwritten essays. They are converted to text before grading.
A whole class in one upload
Upload one folder per student and grade the entire class in a single batch.
What you can grade
Any written assignment with criteria you can describe.
- Argumentative and persuasive essays
- Literary analysis and text interpretation
- Research papers and term papers
- Lab reports and case studies
- English and German essays, including language learners' writing
- Handwritten exam essays (scanned or photographed)
