Grading Chemistry Lab Reports Using AI

Conteúdo do artigo principal

Luis Bello

Resumo

The grading of undergraduate chemistry laboratory reports demands substantial instructor time and is often affected by subjective bias and fatigue. To address these challenges and deliver timely, consistent feedback, artificial intelligence (AI) tools were introduced during the Fall 2024 semester at Tulsa Community College. This study explores the implementation of AI-powered platforms—specifically ChatGPT, Gemini, and MagicSchool.ai—for the evaluation of up to 100 weekly lab reports. Findings indicate that AI-assisted grading enhances efficiency, reduces grading variability, and improves the clarity of student feedback, offering a scalable and equitable solution for laboratory assessment.
