How Check Answer Sheets works

6 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Collect Submitted SheetsFetch answer sheets from new emails in your chosen inbox. Note the exam code and source email for each submission.
  2. Read Student AnswersIdentify the student and read each response. Flag blanks, faint marks, and conflicting answers for your review.
  3. Check the Exam KeyFind the exam key and point rules in your gradebook. Check for an earlier score for that student and exam.
  4. Score Clear ResponsesCompare readable answers with your key and calculate question scores. Leave the total pending if any answer needs your judgment.
  5. Update the GradebookRecord question results and final totals where possible. Note unresolved questions and the source email beside each student.
  6. Email the TeacherSend the teacher a score summary and gradebook link. List unclear or missing answers by student and question.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Check Answer Sheets:

What do I need to set up before grading starts?

Choose your inbox, accepted file formats, and teacher email. Add each exam's key and point rules to your gradebook, then set its score columns.

What happens when an answer is unclear or missing?

You get the student and question in the teacher email. Your gradebook keeps that question and the final total pending for your decision.

What if an exam key is missing?

Your sheets stay unscored until you add the exam key and point rules. You get a gradebook review flag and an email naming the missing key.

What if a student submits the same exam twice?

Your original score stays in place. You get a review flag for a different submission, while repeat emails keep the same entry.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
