How to Do a Reading Comprehension Check using Leo AI

We'll be using an example English reading assignment for 9th graders to demonstrate how to grade a reading comprehension assignment, but you can grade an assignment from any subject you'd like.

The first step is to log in or sign up to Leo. Once you're logged in, head to the 'Assignments' tab on the left-hand side of the screen.

Once you're on the 'Assignments' tab, click on the 'Create Assignment' button towards the top right. You'll be asked to select the type of assignment you'd like to create. In this case, select 'Grading'.

Next, give your assignment a name, and create the assignment structure. For our example assignment, we're asking students to write a paragraph summarising the key events from Act 2 Scene 3 of Othello. So we'll leave it as 1 question, and call it "Othello Act 2 Scene 3 Summary". Click "Next" once you're done.

Now, you'll be asked to create the grading criteria for each question. Select a question from the left, and type in the context of the question. This could be the question itself, along with any additional information that Leo should consider when grading the answer. Below the context, you'll see a section for creating the grading criteria. Click on "Add Criterion" to create a new criterion. Give your criterion a description for how a student meets this criterion, and the number of points it should be worth. For our example assignment, we've got 1 question with 6 criteria, each worth 1 point. The criteria includes key events from the scene, such as Cassio attacking Montano.

Once you've finished setting the criteria, click "Create". You'll be taken to an upload screen where you can upload the submissions you'd like to grade. To upload a submission, you have a few options. You can upload files from your computer, import Google Documents from Google Classroom, import responses from a Google Classroom Question, or share a URL link for students to upload to the assignment themselves. You can also create an activity in your Learning Management System (e.g. Canvas, Moodle, etc.) and have students upload their submission there. Once you've uploaded the submissions, click "Grade All".

After a minute or two, Leo will have graded all the submissions. You'll be able to see the grades for each student, along with the breakdown of how they scored on each question. You can also see the feedback Leo has provided for each student, and the areas they need to improve on.

You should review the grades and feedback provided by Leo, and make any necessary adjustments. Once you're happy with the grades, you can export them to a CSV file, or email the results to the students. You can also push the grades to your Learning Management System if you're using one. With Leo, what would have taken hours of grading can now be done in just a couple minutes.
