Essay Grading That Follows Your Rubric

Clasa lets you define how each essay should be reviewed, then grades it against your criteria. Our AI for grading essays stays consistent from the first essay to the last, giving every student the same fair standard.

Your rubric, your rules

Custom rubric & instruction based essay grading

Upload your own rubric or grading criteria and evaluate essays against it. Each result reflects the structure and priorities you set.

  • Upload your rubric

    Upload your rubric or build one in minutes, including an AP Lang essay rubric, so every essay is scored exactly the way you would mark it.

  • Reuse a saved rubric

    Or select from a rubric you have uploaded before and keep every paper held to the same standard.

  • Instruction-based evaluation

    No rubric? Add specific instructions for how the essay should be reviewed. The system follows those inputs during evaluation, giving you more control over results.

From a score to real insight

Don't just get a score. Every essay comes back with detailed, in-context comments you can read, edit, and share, so students know exactly what to fix.

  • Full essay analysis, not just surface checks

    The essay checker reviews structure, clarity, and how ideas are presented. It goes beyond basic corrections and focuses on overall writing quality.

  • Annotated feedback with scoring

    Each evaluated essay includes detailed feedback along with a score aligned to your rubric or instructions. This helps you understand both the result and the reasoning behind it.

AI detection, built in

Understand how much of an essay is AI-generated

See how much of a submission is likely AI-generated, right next to the grade. Every essay is scanned sentence by sentence and clearly marked, so you know where the writing reads as human and where it doesn't.

  • Sentence and phrase-level analysis

    Every essay is scored sentence by sentence, and you can zoom in to a more detailed phrase-by-phrase view, so you see precisely which lines look AI-generated instead of one vague percentage.

  • Human vs AI, clearly marked

    Color-coded highlights separate human-written text from likely AI and ambiguous passages, with phrase-level detail when you need a closer look.

  • A verdict you can stand behind

    Get an overall likelihood score with transparent reasoning you can share, so conversations with students stay fair and evidence-based.

Built for every context

Supports multiple writing contexts

What is an essay checker & grader

What an Essay Checker Actually Does

Not just scoring. Real feedback that improves writing.

An essay checker reviews your writing and highlights what needs attention. Most tools stop at fixed, generic checks. Clasa works differently: you define how each evaluation should happen, so the review follows the rubric or instructions you provide instead of preset logic alone.

That means grading is never one-size-fits-all. Clasa evaluates writing against the structure, priorities, and standards you set, whether you're focused on argument quality, clarity, or organization. Every score is backed by feedback that explains how the essay was assessed, so the outcome is transparent and easy to act on.

Use Clasa as an essay evaluator, essay reviewer, or AI essay grading tool across evaluation essay formats, college essays, and academic writing. Clasa even helps you learn how to write an evaluation essay by showing exactly where the writing breaks down and how to fix it in a single pass instead of several manual readings.

When originality matters, Clasa's built-in AI detection lets you check whether content may be AI-generated, available right alongside your essay grading results.
