Teachers lack an efficient way to manage and communicate grading policy exceptions like grace periods, leading to manual tracking and inconsistent application.

Workarounds Described

• always gave 100 if the assignment was completed, a 0 if not

Implied Software Gaps

• Grading software that automatically applies conditional policies like grace periods based on submission time

GraceGrade

GraceGrade is a lightweight add-on for LMS platforms that lets teachers define custom grading policies (grace periods, late work rules, exemptions) and automatically applies them to assignments. Teachers no longer need to manually override scores for policy exceptions.
