Papers Grade Please!
Can I set my own grading rubrics in Papers Grade Please!?
Yes, you can customize grading rubrics by adjusting sliders for specific criteria like clear sentences and punctuation. The app remembers your settings, so you don’t have to reconfigure them each time you grade.
What file formats does Papers Grade Please! support for uploading student work?
The app works with Word files, PDFs, and Google Docs links, so it can handle most formats your students send. According to user reports, it hasn’t failed to read any file type yet.
Why does Papers Grade Please! sometimes show a spinning wheel and take a few seconds to grade a long essay?
This is a rare processing delay that can occur with longer essays. Simply wait a moment for the app to finish scanning and grading—it’s not a sign of a crash or error.
How can I save a graded paper to my files without accidentally losing my comments?
After grading, use the app’s export or save function to store the graded paper to your device. To avoid losing comments, always save before closing the paper—the app itself doesn’t delete your work, but it’s good practice to export promptly.
How does Papers Grade Please! compare to other grading apps like Turnitin or Grammarly?
Unlike Turnitin, which focuses on plagiarism detection, or Grammarly, which is a general writing assistant, Papers Grade Please! is a free, all-in-one grading tool that scans handwritten and typed work for grammar, spelling, and content, plus lets you track student progress over time with charts. It’s simpler and more tailored for teachers who need customizable rubrics without a subscription.
