Scribo scores from the top down. Everyone starts with the chance of getting 100%. Along the way, marks get deducted for specified reasons.

In this example, the teacher scoring/rubric preferences deducted marks for –

  • Simple grammar and spelling mistakes that were not corrected

  • Long sentences – run-on sentences are lazy writing at this level

  • Insufficient use of academic words for this level of writing. Again, easily fixed if the student wants to do better

  • Not enough subject-specific terms and words

This feedback is instant for students. If they respond to the feedback and fix errors like grammar and spelling, there is an additional 25 marks up for grabs.

Teacher Story

I know a year 11 teacher who does not deduct marks for grammar and spelling errors. Her students usually deliver well corrected, lazy texts every time. Marks get deducted in Scribo for low level word choices, lack of structure and subject words, basic cohesion and lazy sentence structures. If there is a grammar or spelling error, it's on the students to fix it. She doesn't waste her time 'down in the weeds'. Interesting hey!
