## <Badge color="yellow" size="lg" icon="wand-magic-sparkles" iconType="regular">Phase 4.1</Badge> Running AI Grading

Once submissions are confirmed, grading can begin. Uflo uses the provided solutions and rubrics to grade student responses. Review the scores before releasing them to students.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review Summary">
    Click Grade Submissions and review the table to confirm all scans and questions are accounted for.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Begin Grading">
    Then click Grade All Submissions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Live Progress">
    Progress updates in real time and persists if you close the tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Grading Speed**

  A typical exam of 100 students with 10 questions takes about 2–3 minutes to grade.
</Note>

<Warning>
  **Adjust the Rubric Before Grading Begins**

  [Rubric](/instructors/grading/before-administering#writing-rubric-criteria) changes after grading starts will require [regrading](/instructors/grading/rubric-refinement) affected questions for all students.
</Warning>

## <Badge color="yellow" size="lg" icon="file-import" iconType="regular">Phase 4.2</Badge> Importing Results

After grading, Uflo provides a score breakdown for each question. You can download:

* A Report with student responses and score breakdown grouped by student or question.
* A <Tooltip tip="a spreadsheet-compatible file format" headline="Comma-Separated Values">CSV</Tooltip> of all scores for each student and question.

To view detailed results in Uflo, navigate to Import To Uflo and click Import All Submissions. Any students who fail to import will appear in a dropdown with the reason.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Missing Uflo ID">
    The student signed up with a different email than the one in the roster. They can fix this by adding their student ID in Settings.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Not In Roster">
    The student hasn't signed up for Uflo. Ask them to enroll in the course.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Once issues are resolved, click Import Remaining Submissions.

<Note>
  **Adding New Submissions After Initial Grading**

  Navigate back to the [Before Grading](/instructors/grading/before-grading) page, click the Scans tab, and Add Scans. Verify the import and click Grade Submissions → Grade Remaining Submissions → Import Remaining Submissions.

## <Badge color="yellow" size="lg" icon="magnifying-glass-chart" iconType="regular">Phase 4.3</Badge> Reviewing Results

After import, open the assessment to view distribution graphs. AI grading is highly accurate but instructor review is essential, especially for nuanced or ambiguous responses.

* Review 5–10% of the highest and lowest scoring submissions, as well as the lowest performing questions.
  * Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate quickly: press `←` `→` to move between questions, `↑` `↓` to move between students, and `M` to activate manual grading mode.
* Look for a symmetric grade distribution without too many students clustered at the top or bottom. Raw scores can be <Tooltip tip="adjusted so the overall score distribution better reflects intended difficulty" headline="Grade Curving">curved</Tooltip> later.
* If using multiple exam versions, verify that score distributions are similar across them.

<Accordion title="What to expect from initial AI grading accuracy">
  Uflo's AI grading typically achieves **98% accuracy** on short answer questions, with a range of **95–99%** depending on question complexity and rubric clarity.

  During your review, estimate accuracy by counting how many scores you disagree with out of the sample you checked:

  * **Below 95% accuracy:** The rubric likely has an issue. See [Refining Rubrics](/instructors/grading/rubric-refinement) to diagnose the problem, update the rubric, and regrade. This takes minutes and is highly effective.
  * **95–99% accuracy:** The rubric is working well. Address remaining discrepancies during the [student regrade request window](/instructors/grading/after-grading), where students can flag specific issues for your review.
</Accordion>

<Warning>
  **Review Scores Before Releasing**

  If you detect issues with the grading, the problem is usually the rubric. See [Refining Rubrics](/instructors/grading/rubric-refinement) to diagnose and fix common rubric problems before releasing grades.
