For educators & institutions
For the people who actually grade.
A Fairgrade assignment is a real assignment — an essay, a case write-up, a problem set with reasoning — graded by the whole classroom under your rubric, weighted by the Marciano Method, and finalized by you.
A semester with Fairgrade
Honest accounting, start to finish.
Week 0 · Set up
Create the course, invite students, design your rubric. This is where your effort goes — a good rubric takes real thought, and it pays for itself every assignment after.
Assignment out
Students submit; smart peer assignment distributes each submission to multiple reviewers, balancing workloads and avoiding proximity bias.
Reviews in
Every student gives and receives structured, rubric-anchored feedback. The method weighs each reviewer's credibility as the scores arrive.
You finalize
Compare peer consensus with optional AI signals on one dashboard, adjust anything you disagree with, and publish. The grade is yours — defensibly so.
For instructors
More assignments, fewer nights.
- Assign the essays you stopped assigning — the grading scales with the classroom, not with your evenings.
- Every student gets feedback from multiple perspectives, not a number from one exhausted grader.
- Students learn the material twice: once writing, once evaluating against your rubric.
- You stay in charge: blended Fairgrade Scores, full visibility, overrides, final say.
For institutions
Assessment that scales with enrollment.
- Feedback capacity is every department's scarcest resource — enrollment grows, teaching teams don't. Fairgrade multiplies the feedback each classroom produces; it doesn't replace the people who teach it.
- Evidence, not promises: 5,000+ students and 60+ courses piloted at NYU Stern.
- Critical thinking at scale — richer assignments become affordable across the catalog, not just in seminars.
- Structured pilots: one department, one semester, measurable outcomes.
