# Grade short answers against your answer key

Paste your answer key and a student's short answers and get suggested marks per question, with partial credit and a reason for each. When any answer is borderline, the teacher is asked to confirm the marks or adjust them by hand; the marks are a suggestion for the teacher, never sent to the student.
