Sample result

One assessment marked in DeepMarking, from rubric to export. This is a sample: the unit, the students and their work are made up.

1. The assessment

Unit: BUS1001 Introduction to Business (fictional)
Assessment: A2: Market analysis report
Length: 1,500 words, individual
Total: 30 marks, four criteria
Strictness: Flag & review
Students: 3 shown here

What the lecturer does

Drops in the assessment specification (a PDF) and the rubric (a spreadsheet), then the students' reports as one ZIP from the LMS. Chooses Flag & review so anything without clear evidence comes back as a question.

2. The rubric

The four criteria read from the rubric spreadsheet.

Rubric criteria and maximum marks
Criterion	Full marks need	Marks
Market analysis	Sizes the market, names the main competitors and explains the trends that matter, using figures.	10
Use of evidence and referencing	Every figure and claim has a credible source, cited in APA 7 with a matching reference list.	8
Structure and writing	Report format with headings, an executive summary, clear paragraphs, within the word limit.	7
Recommendations	Two or more specific recommendations that follow from the analysis.	5
Total		30

3. The marks

Each student gets a mark and a comment for every criterion. The table shows final marks, after the lecturer's review.

Marks in colour were changed during review.

What the lecturer does

Presses Mark all. Marks arrive one student at a time, and each student uses one credit. Then opens each student in turn to review.

4. Review, one student at a time

The lecturer reads every criterion. Most are confirmed as they are. Two changed in this sample, shown below.

Student B

S0000002

20 / 30

Market analysis
7 / 10
Market size is given, but only one competitor is examined in any depth.
Use of evidence and referencing
45 / 8
Changed by the lecturer: The AI treated a government report as uncited because it was referenced by its short title. It is in the reference list. Raised from 4 to 5 and comment rewritten.
Most claims are supported, and the reference list is complete. Two in-text citations are missing page numbers.
Structure and writing
5 / 7
Headings are used throughout. There is no executive summary.
Recommendations
3 / 5
Two recommendations, both reasonable, but neither is linked back to the analysis.

Student C

S0000003

16 / 30

Market analysis
5 / 10
Describes the market in general terms with few figures. Competitors are listed but not compared.
Use of evidence and referencing
34 / 8
Flagged: The market size figure has no citation. Is it from a source provided with the assessment?
Lecturer's answer: Yes, it is from the dataset on the unit site. Students were told they could use it without citing.
The market size figure comes from the unit dataset, which counts as a source for this task. Other claims still need citations.
Structure and writing
5 / 7
Readable and in report format. About 200 words over the limit.
Recommendations
2 / 5
One recommendation, stated in general terms.

What the lecturer does

For Student B, corrects a mark the AI got wrong and rewrites the comment. For Student C, answers the flagged question in a sentence; the AI turns the answer into a final mark and comment. Confirming the criteria earns bonus credits.

5. Export

With every student reviewed, the lecturer downloads the cohort results as one Excel sheet and a filled marking sheet for each student, as a ZIP named so the LMS can match each file to its student. The same marks can go into the LMS grade export.
