It is easy to think that if you speed a process up, then you lose quality. But when it comes to giving feedback, speed is an aspect of quality. If you want to test the quality & speed of our AI marking system, we are giving away free credits - find out more here. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/the-ethics-o…
