How does [paper grader] work?

1. Create an assignment drop box

To create a new assignment, you simply need to enter a new assignment title. This generates a unique URL that your students can visit to upload their papers. Just send this URL to your students, and sit back and watch the papers roll in.

2. Students upload papers online

Students can upload documents of any standard word-processing file format (.doc, .docx, .odt, .rtf, .sxw, and .txt are all supported). Before pressing the submit button, they can review their papers and see how they will look to their instructor.

3. View submissions in one place

As students submit their papers, you'll immediately see them appear in your assignment's submission list, which clearly displays important information. Things like student name, time submitted, word count, and grade are only ever a glance away. And you'll have no files to download, organize, and convert. We convert the submissions into one standard format, and make them all accessible in one place.

4. Grade and annotate papers online

Our paper viewing interface is optimized for easy annotation. Create notes just by highlighting text. Every comment is saved automatically. You'll never lose your work.

5. Return papers with one click

Forget about emailing documents one by one back to students. Return graded papers with the click of a button. We'll return them all by email for you, allowing each student to view their paper, along with grade and comments, online.
