It seems unclear to me what "automating routine tasks such as managing assignments" mean as the user is still manually adding students and grading assignments one by one.

Team's Response

Thank you for your feedback regarding the automation of routine tasks in our application. We understand your concern about the manual process of adding students and grading assignments individually.

However, we respectfully believe this is not a valid issue, as the app already automates several routine and time-consuming tasks, including:

  1. Automatic Percentage Calculation:
    The app automatically calculates each student's percentage score based on the grades provided, saving users from performing these calculations manually.

  2. Categorization and Display:
    The app auto-categorizes data and provides clear visualizations of what each student has completed and missed, offering a level of automation and insight not achievable through manual tracking.

For comparison, even established platforms like Canvas require users to manually input grades for assignments that necessitate manual evaluation. Similarly, the act of adding students or entering grades inherently requires human input, as it involves user-specific information and judgment.

We believe the current implementation aligns with the scope of automating routine, repetitive tasks while still accommodating necessary manual interventions for user-specific actions.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re always happy to hear further thoughts on how we can improve!
