SAFE provided the structure, reliability, and a complete digital workflow to manage all assessments efficiently. The platform allowed Prof. Baskar and his TAs to conduct every component of the course, from class tests, quizzes, mid-semester, to end-semester exams, within a unified digital environment.

“Since the pandemic, I have been using SAFE exclusively. I’ve forgotten how physical grading feels because everything is digital now. Students actually prefer it. They can see their evaluations quickly, and it avoids the chaos of handling papers manually.”

The short class tests, primarily objective in nature, could be created and launched in minutes, with automated & code-based access ensuring that each student received the correct test at the right time. Students attempted them in real time, and results were generated instantly, allowing immediate feedback without faculty intervention. For the quizzes, mid-semester and end-semester exams, which included both objective and subjective questions, SAFE’s grading interface facilitated coordinated evaluation among TAs. Each TA could access their assigned scripts digitally, evaluate responses, and record marks from any location, at any time.

“One of my TAs was in Germany during the evaluation cycle, yet she could participate seamlessly in the grading process,” noted Prof. Baskar. “That flexibility made coordination far simpler and ensured no delays.”

One of the most impactful features was the built-in comment feature for crib resolution process. Students could raise requests directly within SAFE, and the faculty/ TA could review, verify, and respond through the same system. This eliminated manual coordination through emails or spreadsheets and brought transparency to the entire review cycle.

“The grading and crib resolution modules were particularly useful,” said Prof. Baskar. “Once everything was on the system, we could ensure fairness, traceability, and faster turnaround without repeated back-and-forth.”
