Why this prompt works
This prompt transforms the AI into a rigorous yet supportive grading assistant. By entering the subject, grade level and detailed rubric, you get a structured correction that respects your evaluation criteria while offering rich pedagogical feedback to the student. For optimal results, be precise in your rubric: indicate points per criterion, specific expectations and desired level of rigor. The more detailed the rubric, the more faithful the grading will be to your standards. You can also paste a model answer as a supplement to guide the evaluation. This prompt is particularly useful for saving time on repetitive grading while maintaining high feedback quality. Always review the generated annotations before sharing them with students, and adjust the final grade according to your professional judgment.

Pour un gain de temps optimal, pré-remplissez le barème avec des critères très précis (ex. "orthographe : /2 pts, -0,5 par faute"). L'IA applique mieux une grille chiffrée qu'un barème flou. Vérifiez toujours les annotations : l'IA peut halluciner des erreurs ou suggérer des corrections hors programme.
