Detailed feedback on college essays, without the 2 a.m. grading sessions
Composition courses live on feedback, and feedback takes time you don't have across three sections. RubricPal reads each paper against your rubric, flags weak evidence and unattributed sources, and maps the paper's structure paragraph by paragraph.
