1. Enhancing writing skills
Artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, are focused and trained on human language.
This makes them perfect for long-form written content like assignments and reports, where there are a lot of words to process and analyse.
Our tool helps pin-point potential wording issues, or areas in your assignment where you are not quite meeting the marking criteria provided.
2. Encourages critical thinking
Rather than providing direct answers and spoon-feeding content like AI often does, we at Mark This For Me put extra effort into making sure our feedback does not give away answers.
As some of us are students ourselves, we understand the fear AI tools can spark. We know many students do not want to get in trouble with academia.
That is why our feedback is designed to encourage critical thinking, so students can incorporate it into their academic workflows.
3. Promotes self-editing
Once we start having other people or tools adding to our personal work, it can feel less personal and less like our own.
That feeling can be demotivating, and our work may start to feel foreign.
Using AI tools can create similar feelings, which is where we come in.
Because our tool only provides feedback, you keep ownership of your work.
4. Efficient and timely feedback
Got more than 5,000 words to read through and meticulously check against your marking criteria?
Our AI tool gives insight into areas you might want to check in more detail, and helps you spot things you may have missed.
Of course, you should always double-check your work manually. But having a tool for quick checks here and there helps.
Almost instant feedback means you can make necessary corrections promptly and submit before a tight deadline.
With half a million words at your disposal every month for only £3.99, adding AI to your academic workflow can be a practical way to work more efficiently and save time.
5. Confidence building
Imposter syndrome is a common problem for students.
We are sure, "I don't think this writing is good enough" has crossed your mind at least once.
An AI tool here and there might prove you wrong and give feedback that builds confidence in your work, and in whether you have covered all the bases with your marking criteria.
It also means you can check your work without too much embarrassment, since no one else sees it.
Here's a real-world example of feedback given to a student
Is this fake? Nope.
Recently, one student we know had a deadline coming up.
They needed to quickly check their work against their marking criteria.
After manually reading through their work, they thought they had covered all the necessary criteria to at least pass the module.
The AI says otherwise.
An AI-generated feedback from Mark This For Me.
After reading the feedback from our AI tool, the student realised they agreed with much of what it identified.
Their work was missing a few key aspects from the marking criteria they had provided.
