Word Grader is an instructor tool that automatically grades and marks student documents by comparing and merging them with a correct instructor version using Word's formatting features. The program tracks and reports on error types and grade data.
The program does all the heavy lifting by using the powerful Compare and Combine feature within Word to merge a student's document with the correct version from the instructor. Students' error types are then counted and a grade report is generated instantly.
One of the most helpful features of Word Grader is its grading summary, which allows you to keep track of each student's grades to maintain their records easily. The software supports both DOC and DOCX files, so no matter which format you use in your classroom, Word Grader has got you covered.
Overall, Word Grader is an incredibly efficient tool for instructors who value their time and want to automate grading while providing invaluable feedback to students. It's definitely worth considering for a smoother, more streamlined grading process.
