Grading Your Students’ Deep Dives Submissions

How Does Grading Work on Packback Deep Dives?

Grading on Packback Deep Dives is “AI-assisted”, but not fully AI-graded. The Deep Dives Grading Assistant uses AI to suggest scores for each of the grading criteria you’ve selected to be included in your rubric. However, you have the final say in your students’ Deep Dives score for each category and can choose to override any score as you see fit.
