Create assessments and grade papers for classes
A teacher's co-teacher uses ChatGPT to create assignments and tests, with commenters also using it to grade papers and create texts.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The Reddit post says a co-teacher was using ChatGPT to make tests, handouts, and other assignments, and a student noticed because the format matched a ChatGPT-made study guide they had generated for themself. In the comments, teachers describe using AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or district-paid Copilot to draft lesson materials, then heavily rewriting prompts, content, and formatting by hand to fit curriculum and students.
- How it went
- The thread’s main result is that teachers found AI could help generate a starting point, but many said it did not save much time because they had to rework almost everything. Commenters also said the outputs often looked bad, were inaccurate, or needed extensive modification before use.
- Worth knowing
- One commenter said timing both methods showed making the resource from scratch was consistently quicker and more accurate than using AI first.
