Starter prompt
De-identify and define the review
Remove direct identifiers before sharing submissions or grading exports. Provide the rubric, course outcomes, calibration rules, and representative feedback so ChatGPT can compare evidence against the intended criteria.
State what the review may flag and what must remain a faculty decision.
Create the calibration workbook
Use the starter prompt to produce a workbook that separates:
- rubric criteria and expected evidence
- score distributions and possible inconsistencies
- representative examples
- common strengths and learning gaps
- feedback themes
- cases that need joint review
Treat every flag as a review lead, not a grading decision.
Validate the findings
Faculty reviewers should check the source evidence, confirm that comparisons are like-for-like, and look for missing context such as accommodations or assignment variants. Do not use the workbook to assign, alter, or automate final grades.
After review, ask ChatGPT to turn confirmed patterns into proposed rubric clarifications and calibration examples. Keep uncertain cases visibly unresolved.
