Frequently Asked Questions
What rubric criteria does the AI use for persuasive essays?
You can provide your own rubric, or the AI defaults to: thesis/claim quality, evidence and reasoning, counterargument handling, organization, and conventions. Each criterion receives separate feedback.
Can the AI grade persuasive essays at the elementary level?
Yes. For younger students, the feedback is calibrated to grade-appropriate expectations: clear opinion, at least two reasons, and a closing statement — not a full argument with counterarguments.
