5-point scale: Thesis, Evidence, Analysis, Organization, Conventions
Score: 4/5
Strong thesis with clear argumentation. Your evidence selections are well-chosen — especially the primary source connection in paragraph 2...
Actual grading interface — try it yourself
Pulse gives you back your evenings and gives every student real feedback.
What that looks like depends on where you sit.
Get your evenings back.
- A stack of 30 essays goes from 3 hours to 15 minutes. Feedback is longer than what you'd write by hand and matched to your rubric.
- Every kid gets real feedback — not just a grade — in a voice you choose, sized to their level.
- Parents stop chasing you. Every grade lands in the /progress dashboard automatically.
Grade what other AI tools can't.
- Upload a video or audio of a solo, ensemble, or skit — Pulse writes real feedback on tone, timing, delivery, character.
- Ensemble recitals split up: enter every performer with their instrument (or role, for skits). Pulse grades each one individually plus the group.
- Performers can come from different homerooms — results roll up on each kid's /progress page automatically.
Keep your best teachers longer.
- Grading load is the #1 quiet reason strong teachers leave. Pulse cuts it enough to move the needle.
- Consistent feedback across sections: same rubric, same voice — "Ms. A grades hard, Mr. B grades soft" disappears.
- Every family gets a live progress dashboard. Report-card season stops being a fire drill.
See every grade the moment it's marked.
- Not at report-card season. Not after emailing three times. As soon as the teacher hits submit.
- Actual feedback, not just a score — strengths, next steps, and the teacher's rubric in language your kid can act on.
- Free. No teacher login. No sign-up drama. Just /progress and the student ID.

Your rubric, every time

Batch grade a whole class
Upload a scanned PDF of 30 papers. AI splits by student, reads names, grades each one, and gives you a class summary.
Class roster — any school
Edsby schools: upload your gradebook CSV. Everyone else: type student names and auto-generate IDs. Either way, students are matched by name after grading.

Per-student strictness
Adjust grading strictness per student with a simple slider. Tougher on your advanced kids, more encouraging for struggling learners — same rubric, calibrated expectations.

13 voices. Your classroom culture.

"Great start with your thesis! Your evidence in paragraph 2 is particularly strong. Let's work on connecting your analysis back to the main argument more consistently..."
"The thesis presents a defensible claim, though it lacks specificity. Evidence selection is appropriate; however, the analytical framework requires strengthening in paragraphs 3-4..."
