How it helps
Rubrics are useful only if you revise against them
Students often read the rubric after writing the essay, then realize a required category was missing. A rubric checker helps you compare the draft to the criteria before it is too late.
Yessay uses the rubric you provide to produce feedback that is more specific than generic writing advice.
Example rubric feedback
Rubric issue: the assignment requires counterargument, but the draft does not include one.
The rubric includes counterargument as a category. Add a paragraph that presents a reasonable objection and explains why your thesis still holds.
Common mistakes
The issues students usually miss alone.
Writing first, checking the rubric last
Rubrics can reveal required moves that should shape the draft from the start.
Assuming good writing meets every criterion
A polished essay can still miss a specific rubric requirement.
Ignoring category weights
Higher-value categories should guide where you spend revision time.
