Grading at AI speed — without the autograder risks
Comparable to peer-reviewed benchmarks (e.g. Birmingham/Graide 2025: 74% time reduction, 7× feedback length) — without the autograder bias risks.

Why use Feedback Kitchen?
Consistent feedback across your whole marking team.
Editable drafts, not automated grading. You stay in control.
Runs entirely in your browser — no login, no account, nothing stored on a server.
Optional wording assistant (Ko-fi key required) — refines phrasing only, with names and IDs removed before any text leaves your browser.
What Feedback Kitchen doesn't do
The boundaries are the point.
Does not decide grades. You select every grade.
Does not invent comments. Only assembles sentences you wrote.
Does not upload student work to any server.
Does not require a login or institutional account.
Does not replace your LMS. Paste into Moodle, Canvas, Turnitin, or any other system as usual.
Wording assistant never sees identifiers — names and IDs are stripped first.
Adopt without waiting for IT approval
Because no personal data is shared with a third-party processor, Feedback Kitchen sits outside the institutional review threshold under the NZ Privacy Act 2020 and AU Privacy Act 1988.
For course coordinators and tutor teams
Build the rubric logic, weights, and feedback language once, then export the Scorer as JSON and distribute it to your tutor team. Every marker uses the same descriptors, the same intros, and the same closing paragraphs — directly addressing the inter-rater reliability problem on large cohorts.
No vendor procurement. No new institutional system. No movement of student data. Revise each semester and build a departmental library of vetted, reusable rubrics.
Everything You Need
Built for lecturers, course coordinators, and tutors who want speed, consistency, and quality feedback.¹
Custom Rubrics
Define your own criteria and weight them however you like. Add rubric descriptors for all four tiers — Excellent, Proficient, Developing, and Unsatisfactory.
Weighted Scoring
Set percentage weights per criterion. The tool automatically calculates weighted scores, applies late penalties, and suggests an overall grade.
Editable Feedback Draft
Each student gets a fully assembled feedback draft — intro, per-criterion commentary, score, late penalty notice, and a grade-tailored closing paragraph. Edit any of it before you send.
One-Click Export
Copy feedback to your clipboard, download a formatted Excel workbook with results, rubric, and feedback templates, or print directly to PDF.
Fully Customisable
Edit every intro and outro paragraph per grade level. Override any score manually. Add personalised comments alongside the auto-generated text.
Multiple Scorers
Build a separate scorer for each course or assessment. Save and switch between them. Export your config as JSON to share with colleagues.
How It Works
From rubric to ready-to-paste feedback in three steps.
Build Your Scorer
Use the guided wizard to set up your assessment details, define your criteria and weightings, write rubric descriptors for each tier, and customise the grade feedback text. Takes about 10–20 minutes for a new assessment.
Grade a Student
Enter the student's details, select a grade for each criterion from the dropdown, optionally override any score, choose a late penalty if applicable, and watch the overall score and feedback assemble in real time.
Export & Move On
Copy the feedback to your clipboard and paste it into Moodle, Turnitin, or your institution's grading system. Download an Excel record of the grading, or print to PDF. Hit "New Student" and repeat.
