The challenge

What was getting in the way.

Rubric-graded, artifact-based work can consume evenings of careful evidence finding, criterion-by-criterion judgment, and feedback writing. Generic AI tools can save time, but often hide the reasoning or weaken instructor control.

The product

A workflow designed for the work.

GradeSteward links submissions to an instructor-approved rubric, calibrates the approach on one sample, and drafts criterion-level evidence, marks, and feedback for review and finalization.

The principle

AI should support academic judgment, not silently replace it. Every mark remains provisional until the instructor reviews and approves it.

A reviewable starting point for every criterion

Clear evidence behind provisional decisions

Instructor authority preserved from setup to final grade
