Opening the assignment
Open your class and click the assignment in the list. Assignments are grouped by topic. You can also find it on the Assigned page in the sidebar.
Read the Details (due date, attempts, time limit) and click Start Assessment.
Writing your response
The editor has a title field and a page for your writing, with a formatting toolbar for headings, lists, bold and italics, math and more. Your work saves automatically as you type.
The right-hand panel shows the Prompt and, if your teacher enabled it, the Grading Rubric — so you know exactly what you're being graded on.
Thought Partner is an AI helper that knows the prompt. It won't write the essay for you, but it can review your writing, help you understand the prompt and sources, or brainstorm ideas with you.
The Comment tab in the right-hand panel shows comments on your writing.
Version History lets you look back at earlier drafts.
Resume Later saves your draft so you can come back to it.
Note: Your teacher can see how you wrote: how long you spent, whether text was pasted in, and any chats with the Thought Partner. Write in your own words.
Submitting
Click Submit at the top right.
Confirm Submit in the pop-up. Once submitted, you can't change your work.
You'll see "This grade will be posted in your class after your teacher reviews feedback." Your teacher reviews Kai's suggested comments and score before anything is shared with you. Once it's posted, your grade appears in the Grade column of your class's assignment list.
Reading your feedback
When your teacher publishes, the assignment's Grade in your class shows your score. On the assignment page, Previous Sessions shows Feedback Status Published and your score (it shows Grading... until then). Click the session to see your teacher's comments underlined in your essay (open the Comment tab or click View comments to read them all and reply), your total score and your score for each rubric criterion with feedback (Feedback tab), and, if your teacher shared them, your AI scan results (AI tab): the AI-writing rating, typing analysis (time on doc, pasted text) and Thought Partner usage.
