Essays & Humanities

Nuanced analysis, not keyword matching

Humanities essays require understanding argument structure, evidence quality, and rhetorical sophistication. Ednius evaluates thesis clarity, logical flow, source integration, and originality of thought, not just whether students mentioned the right terms.

Thesis evaluation Argument structure Citation analysis Writing quality
PHIL 201: Ethics Essay
Graded
Prompt
Evaluate Kant's categorical imperative as a framework for modern ethical decision-making.
Student Response (excerpt)
Kant's categorical imperative, particularly the universalizability principle, provides a robust framework for ethical reasoning. When we consider whether an action could be universalized without contradiction, we establish a clear test for moral permissibility...
87/100
Score
Style
Strong grasp of universalizability. To reach excellence: engage with critiques (e.g., Hegel's abstraction concern) and address conflicting duties.
STEM & Mathematics

Partial credit that makes sense

STEM problems have multiple valid solution paths. Ednius doesn't just check final answers. It analyzes methodology, identifies where reasoning went wrong, and awards partial credit for correct approaches even with computational errors.

Step-by-step analysis Multiple solution paths Error propagation tracking Unit analysis
PHYS 201: Mechanics
Graded
Problem
A 2kg block slides down a 30° frictionless incline. Find acceleration and normal force.
Student Work
Forces: mg sin(30°) = ma ✓
a = g sin(30°) = 9.8 × 0.5 = 4.9 m/s² ✓
Normal: N = mg cos(30°) = 2 × 9.8 × 0.87 = 17.1 N
9/10
Points
Style
Excellent methodology. Minor note: cos(30°) ≈ 0.866, giving N ≈ 17.0 N. Carry extra precision through calculations.
Computer Science

Beyond "does it compile"

Code grading isn't just about correct output. Ednius evaluates algorithmic efficiency, code style, documentation quality, and software engineering principles. Students learn to write code that's not just functional, but maintainable.

Logic analysis Big-O evaluation Style checking All languages
CS 201: Data Structures
Graded
Assignment
Implement a function to find duplicates in an array. Optimize for time complexity.
Student Code
def find_dupes(arr):
  seen = set()
  dupes = []
  for x in arr:
    if x in seen: dupes.append(x)
    else: seen.add(x)
  return dupes
85/100
Score
Style
Good O(n) solution. Issues: (1) Use find_duplicates for clarity, (2) Add docstring, (3) Use set for dupes to avoid duplicate duplicates.
Business & Economics

Strategic thinking, evaluated

Business cases require judgment, framework application, and strategic reasoning. Ednius assesses whether students properly applied analytical frameworks, considered alternatives, and supported recommendations with evidence.

Framework evaluation Data analysis Recommendation quality Multiple approaches
MBA 510: Strategy
Graded
Case Question
Should Netflix enter the gaming market? Analyze using appropriate strategic frameworks.
Response (excerpt)
Using Porter's Five Forces, the gaming industry shows high rivalry but opportunities for Netflix's content delivery strengths. Their 230M subscriber base provides distribution advantage...
82/100
Score
Style
Strong Porter's analysis. To improve: (1) Address substitutes (mobile gaming), (2) Add VRIO analysis for internal capabilities, (3) Strengthen financial justification.
Medical Education

Clinical reasoning, assessed

Medical education requires evaluating clinical judgment, differential diagnosis, and patient management decisions. Ednius assesses whether students follow proper diagnostic processes and consider appropriate alternatives.

Differential diagnosis Clinical reasoning Workup evaluation Red flag detection
MED 301: Clinical Case
Graded
Case
45-year-old male: sudden chest pain radiating to left arm, diaphoresis, dyspnea. Provide DDx and initial workup.
Student Response
Primary DDx: Acute MI. Must rule out: PE, aortic dissection, pneumothorax. Workup: ECG, troponins, CXR, CBC, BMP. CT angio if dissection suspected...
91/100
Score
Style
Excellent systematic approach. Consider adding: (1) Serial troponin timeline, (2) HEART/TIMI risk scores, (3) Thrombolytic contraindications.
Short Answer & Quizzes

High volume, high quality

Weekly quizzes and short-answer exams mean constant grading. Ednius handles the volume while maintaining feedback quality. Students learn from every quiz, not just the ones you had time to comment on.

Batch processing Instant turnaround Concept mapping Gap identification
BIO 101: Weekly Quiz
Graded
Question 4
Explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Why is this distinction important for genetic diversity?
Student Answer
Mitosis produces identical cells for growth/repair. Meiosis produces gametes with half the chromosomes and involves crossing over. This allows offspring to differ from parents.
7/10
Points
Style
Good foundation. Missing: (1) Division count difference, (2) Independent assortment, (3) Evolution connection. See Ch. 9.3 on genetic variation sources.
