Prompt objective
Build an AI-assisted grading workflow that reduces instructor evaluation time by 70% while delivering rich, individualized feedback to every student.
Real use case
Professor Diego teaches essay writing for Brazil's national university entrance exam (ENEM) on his own platform with 1,200 active students. He currently spends 3 minutes per essay but still cannot provide detailed feedback. He wants to use ChatGPT to pre-grade essays and generate feedback drafts he can review and refine, cutting evaluation time to 45 seconds per student.
