MarkCTRL uses your rubric or answer key to prepare criterion-by-criterion scores, evidence-linked feedback, and reviewable drafts. Nothing reaches a student until you approve it.
Testing currently creates one educator workspace per account.

Submission
Gatsby’s green light works less like a symbol of hope and more like a measuring stick. Fitzgerald keeps putting distance in the sentence, across the bay and at the end of the dock, so the reader feels the gap before Gatsby admits it. By chapter five the light has gone dim, which shows the dream only survives while it stays out of reach.
Cited for criterion 2. Every mark points back to the exact words on the page.
Against your rubric
15 / 16Comment to Maya
Your reading of the green light is genuinely your own, and the thesis holds across all three body paragraphs. Where you lose marks is evidence: paragraph two leans on summary where a short quotation would have done the work for you.
An illustration of the MarkCTRL interface. Sample work and names are fictional.
“MarkCTRL prepares criterion scores and feedback. You decide what reaches the student.”
Set the standard, let it read the class set, then decide what actually goes out. Scroll to walk through it.
Before the class set
Hand over the rubric you already wrote. If all you have is an answer key, that works too.
Marking intensity
While it grades
Each submission is evaluated criterion by criterion against the same configured standard.
Quoted from the paper
“Fitzgerald keeps putting distance in the sentence, across the bay and at the end of the dock.”
What went wrong
The claim is paraphrased rather than quoted, so the reader never hears the text.
What full marks looks like
A short direct quotation, followed by a sentence on why that wording matters.
After it grades
Drafts wait in a queue. Change a mark, rewrite a line and approve. Nothing releases until you do.
Four parts do the work. Each one is shown here doing it.
Rubrics
A criterion on its own is just a label. MarkCTRL adds editable full-mark and partial-mark anchors so each submission is compared with the same configured guidance.
Thesis is clear and arguable
Evidence
No mark arrives without a receipt. Each deduction carries the quotation it came from, what went wrong in it, and what the stronger version would have said.
From the submission
The narrator says the light was small and far away, and this shows Gatsby is hopeful about the future, because he keeps looking at it every night.
Confidence
A grader that never hesitates is a grader you cannot trust. Close calls, unreadable handwriting and answers sitting between two bands all get flagged instead of quietly averaged.
The gate
Every score and comment lands in a review queue first. Change a mark, rewrite a line, approve. Until you do, the student sees nothing at all.

Courses, assignments and students stay separate, so one class set never bleeds into another.
Share one invite code. Students add themselves to the course instead of you keying in a roster.
Quick assessment can structure an answer key into editable criteria when no rubric is supplied.
Show grades the way your school reports them, without redoing the rubric.
Find courses, assignments and students across your visible course data.
See review counts, submitted work, recent results, upcoming assignments and course load in one place.
Access is gated on a live session. The API and production page add security headers, and course data is checked against the signed-in account.
Every page behind the marketing site checks a live session before it renders. No session, no data.
API responses add HSTS. Production page policy upgrades insecure requests and restricts script and frame sources.
A strict content security policy ships with every request, blocking injected scripts and third-party frames.
Course, assignment and feedback endpoints verify the signed-in user before returning data.
