"Classwise has helped me grade a lot of free response assignments at a much faster rate than hand grading. I saved a lot of time on the weekends… It will save you time and give the students and parents immediate feedback on their work."
Faster free-response grading
Classwise has helped me grade a lot of free response assignments at a much faster rate than hand grading. I saved a lot of time on the weekends. You also have the freedom to edit any responses and change any grades manually if you see fit.
Feedback students and parents can access
It has been useful to have the feedback post online so that students have easier access to it, along with their parents. I don't have to worry about students not taking the graded work back to home. I also liked the analytics to see what types of questions students were struggling to answer correctly.
Why he would recommend it
I would recommend it to another teacher if they have a lot of free response questions or assessments to grade. It will save you time and give the students and parents immediate feedback on their work. Math teachers would also benefit from using this program as it can correct questions quickly. If you have any problems, Derah and his team will be on it right away. They are extremely responsive. Several new updates were added in just the few months I used Classwise, so there is always a new tool to try.
