How It Works & Teacher Guide

From Student Submissions to Rubric-Aligned Feedback in Seconds

Whether you are grading daily homework, multi-step math quizzes, or AP Free Response Questions, Quad AI acts as your instructional grading assistant. Upload handwritten work or digital submissions and receive instant, step-by-step evaluations while maintaining complete teacher oversight.

1. Set Your Assignment Context & Max Points

Enter the topic or standard you are assessing (e.g., Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring or Normal Distributions & Empirical Rule) and specify the maximum point value. You can also select or provide specific grading criteria to match your classroom rubric.

2. Upload Student Submissions (PDF or Image)

Upload single-page or multi-page student work directly from your computer or mobile device. The engine accepts scans, direct camera photos of paper assignments, or exported digital PDFs.

3. Generate Step-by-Step Evaluations & Partial Credit

Click ✨ Quad 'Em Up! The multimodal vision engine analyzes handwritten algebra and calculations step-by-step, identifies exact computational errors, assigns rubric-aligned scores, and produces student-facing constructive feedback.

• Multi-Step Algebraic Error Detection: Pinpoints where an algebraic manipulation broke down rather than just checking final answers.
• Partial Credit Breakdown: Automatically calculates fair, proportional scores based on demonstrated methodology and mathematical reasoning.
• Export & SpeedGrader Ready: Instantly copy formatted feedback summaries with one click or download clean .txt files to paste directly into Canvas SpeedGrader, Google Classroom, or your school LMS.
• Mobile & Desktop Flexibility: Grade seamlessly from your classroom computer or scan and review physical student papers directly using your phone browser.

• Photo Quality: When photographing paper tests, ensure adequate lighting and capture the page directly from above to help the vision engine read pencil markings clearly.
• Custom Instructions: Use the optional assignment context field to specify grading strictness, such as "Deduct 0.5 points for missing units" or "Award full credit if correct quadratic formula methodology is shown."
• Teacher Verification: The AI serves as your co-pilot. Always perform a quick final check on suggested scores before posting them to your gradebook.
