What VelociPlate is best for

Use VelociPlate when student responses, points, or rubric targets are organized in a worksheet. It is ideal for quiz data and bulk short-response grading.

Prepare your sheet for clean grading

• Use clear header names.
• Keep one student per row.
• Separate response columns from score columns.

Choose target columns carefully

Select exactly the response columns you want graded. Explicit column targeting reduces accidental grading of admin fields.

Run grading in controlled batches

1. Start with a small sample.
2. Check score and feedback quality.
3. Scale to full sheet only after calibration.

Common issues and fixes

• Wrong sheet selected: re-open picker and confirm title.
• Headers not visible: refresh or reauthorize sheet access.
• Unexpected scores: tighten rubric instructions and rerun sample.
