- A consistent first passEvery submission graded against the course’s criteria before a grader reviews it.
- Less time per submissionGraders review and adjust rather than starting from a blank page.
- Works with your platformCollect work through Canvas, Microsoft Teams or Google Classroom, or upload it directly.
