Evaluation that finishes before the students get home

TutorDesk evaluates objective papers automatically against the key with the configured negative marking, produces per-question and per-topic breakdowns for the batch, and releases results to students and faculty at the same moment.

Objective papers only. Subjective answers still need a human evaluator; the system records those marks rather than assigning them.

The value of a weekly test is the feedback loop. A paper written Sunday and returned the following Saturday has taught nobody anything, because by then the batch has moved on two chapters.

The per-question breakdown is worth more than the score

A batch average of 58% tells a faculty member nothing actionable. A view showing that eighty percent of the batch got question fourteen wrong tells them exactly what to cover on Monday.

Question-level and topic-level breakdowns across the batch are the output that changes teaching. The individual score is what the student cares about; the distribution is what the faculty needs.

02

Why students and faculty see it at the same time

Releasing to faculty first seems sensible and creates a gap in which students hear their score informally, from each other, inaccurately.

Simultaneous release removes that. Faculty get the breakdown and students get their result at the same moment, which also means the Monday class starts from a shared understanding of what happened.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

Can it evaluate subjective answers?

No. Objective papers are evaluated automatically; subjective answers are marked by a human and the marks recorded. Automated scoring of written answers is not reliable enough to sit behind a rank a parent will read.

How long does evaluation take?

Minutes for online attempts, and as long as scanning takes for OMR. In both cases the constraint is capture rather than evaluation.

Do faculty see results before students?

No, deliberately. Simultaneous release prevents the gap in which students hear their scores inaccurately from each other.
