Does AI grading replace the lecturer?

No. The professor's judgement, final call, and relationship with students are not replaceable. AI grading executes your rubric; it does not decide grades on its own.

Is AI grading the same as a plagiarism checker?

No. Plagiarism and similarity checkers establish that work is original. AI grading assesses its quality against your rubric. Lectimax surfaces peer-collusion and plagiarism similarity on its integrity screen; it does not claim to detect AI writing.

Does AI grading detect AI-written submissions?

No. Gauge scores work against your rubric. It does not scan for or police AI-written text.

Does AI grading save real time?

Yes, on a benchmarked workflow, roughly 60 to 80 percent less time on the mechanical marking pass. The review and rubric work remain.

Is AI grading accurate?

It is as accurate as your rubric and your review. Clear descriptors plus genuine human oversight produce defensible, consistent results.
