Grading Prompt FAQ

This FAQ explains the product principles behind Gradenza grading prompts: preserve mathematical reasoning, expose grading decisions, and keep teachers in control before feedback is released.

Details

Prompt design principles

Grade working, not only answers

The prompt asks for evidence from the student work so marks can be tied to method, accuracy, and reasoning.

Carry the student value when appropriate

For IB Follow Through cases, later work can be assessed against the value the student actually used.

Flag uncertainty

When handwriting, OCR, diagrams, or ambiguous notation weaken confidence, the report should make that visible to the teacher.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Gradenza automatically finalise grades?

No. Gradenza drafts grading reports for teacher or tutor review before feedback is released.

Can the prompt handle Follow Through marks?

For supported IB Math workflows, the grading logic is designed to evaluate later parts against the student carried value when the markscheme allows it.

What happens when the work is unclear?

The report should surface uncertainty rather than silently pretending the submission was clear.
