Real feedback from teachers who grade with Essay Marker every week.
This saved me so much time. I used to spend every Sunday marking. Now I spend an hour reviewing AI feedback and personalising it. My students are actually getting more useful comments than before.

Grading is finally consistent across my classes. I can show students exactly which rubric criterion needs work, and the feedback doesn't vary based on whether I'm tired or not. It's been a game changer.
