Leveraging AI for Grading and Feedback: Evaluating ChatGPT's Role in Academic Assessm

This study evaluates ChatGPT's ability to grade and provide feedback on student responses to an open-ended, constructed, and computational college-level physics exam question by comparing its performance to that of human content experts. Thirty student responses are graded by four experts using an evolving rubric, which is later applied by ChatGPT for scoring and feedback. Preliminary analysis of 10 responses demonstrates strong alignment between ChatGPT and human graders across total scores, performance group distinctions, and rubric criteria. These findings highlight ChatGPT's potential as a valuable tool for improving the efficiency and consistency of educational assessments.
