The first exercise in Language, Proof, and Logic (on page 8) is designed to familiarize students with the Grade Grinder. We encourage all instructors to try this exercise for themselves, in addition to assigning it to their students, as an introduction to our software. It provides a step-by-step description of the process of submitting a file to be graded. The grade report that is emailed to the student contains a long explanation of how the Grade Grinder works and what the reports look like. Here is a sample, which you might find helpful.

The following grade report is much more typical. This is a sample that was sent both to a student and an instructor, with three correct exercises. This is the type of report that instructors generally receive, although ordinarily the exercises would not span as many chapters. Note that the student has included a message to the instructor.

Finally, here is a grade report that was sent only to the student. This example has quite a few incorrect exercises. This illustrates that variety of information that the Grade Grinder gives to help students identify and correct their mistakes. As students work on problem sets, they are free to check their work by submitting the files as many times as necessary. Among other things, we are currently working on a feature to allow instructors to assign certain exercises as exam questions, which would limit this ability.
