You’d grade less if students thought more.

Most of grading is correcting structural problems that should have been solved before the student wrote the draft. Dakoda solves them in real time - so you grade thinking, not commas.

The questions teachers actually ask

Six honest answers,
before you book a demo.

What do I see on my end?

The dashboard class view, submission overview - everything teacher-facing in one place.

Can I see where my student is?

Yes. Real-time progress through each Essay Builder block, by the student, is visible at all times.

Can I intervene before they’re stuck?

Per-student analytics show wobbles in thesis or evidence before submission.

Does this reduce my grading load?

Dakoda coaches; you review thinking, not line-edits. Less time on comments, more on ideas.

Does it fit how I already teach?

Custom prompts, your rubrics, Google Classroom sync. Dakoda follows you.

How long does setup actually take?

Under two minutes from prompt to assignment. We mean it, and we’ll show you.

Intervene before submission.

Stuck-student flagging surfaces wobbles in thesis or evidence as they happen. Walk over before the bell.

Cut grading time, not depth.

When structure is solved upstream, your feedback shifts from line-edits to argument coaching. The work matters more.
