Understanding Jev’s Role After Submission
When a student submits a written answer, Quesly’s AI assistant, Jev, automatically generates a suggested mark together with a brief rationale. This suggestion appears only after the work is locked, so students cannot see it before they finish. The teacher can view the suggestion alongside the original answer, the extracted source excerpt, and any marking criteria that were set when the assignment was created.
Jev’s output is intended as a starting point for the teacher’s own judgment. It does not replace the teacher’s expertise; instead, it highlights key elements that match the source material and the predefined criteria. Because the suggestion is generated from the student’s response, it can help identify obvious strengths or gaps, but teachers should still verify each point against their expectations.
Preparing the Marking Criteria
Before students begin, the teacher should define clear marking criteria for each written question. These criteria are stored in Quesly and later displayed when reviewing Jev’s suggestion. Having specific points—such as relevance, use of evidence, and clarity—makes it easier to compare the AI’s reasoning with the teacher’s own standards.
The criteria also serve as a reference for students, who can see what is expected when they receive the assignment. While Quesly does not prevent teachers from adjusting criteria later, any changes after submission will not affect Jev’s already‑generated suggestion. Therefore, finalizing criteria early supports a smoother review process.
Reviewing Jev’s Suggested Mark
Open the student’s submission page and locate the Jev suggestion panel. The panel shows a numeric mark and a short paragraph explaining why that mark was chosen. Read the explanation carefully; it will reference specific parts of the student’s answer and the source excerpt used to create the question.
Compare the AI’s reasoning with the marking criteria you set. If the suggestion aligns with the criteria, you may accept it as is or make minor adjustments. If you notice discrepancies—such as missed points or over‑emphasis on irrelevant details—use your professional judgment to modify the mark accordingly.
Adjusting Marks and Recording Reasons
To change a suggested mark, simply edit the numeric value in the grading field. You can also add your own comments to explain why the final mark differs from Jev’s suggestion. These comments become part of the feedback that students will see once results are released.
Documenting your reasoning is useful for transparency. It shows students that the final grade reflects both AI assistance and teacher expertise. Even though Quesly does not lock the AI suggestion, keeping a record of why you altered it helps maintain consistency across multiple submissions and supports future reflective practice.
Saving and Releasing Final Results
After confirming the final marks and any added comments, click the save button to store the grades securely. The saved grades remain hidden from students until you decide to release them. This ensures that all reviews are completed before any student can view their results.
When you are ready, use the release function to make the grades and feedback visible to students. At that point, each student will see their own mark, the teacher’s comments, and the original source excerpt used to generate the question. The release step completes the workflow, allowing students to reflect on their performance with full context.
