The Zero-Effort Guide to Grading 100+ Projects in One Session
"For most CS professors, the end of the semester is synonymous with a 48-hour grading marathon. We wanted to see if we could turn those 48 hours into 15 minutes of autonomous execution. This is how we did it."
The Scale Problem
In modern coding bootcamps and CS departments, student output has exploded. A single cohort of 50 students might submit 250 individual project milestones per semester. If each manual evaluation takes 20 minutes (cloning, installing, running, clicking, auditing), that's 83 hours of repetitive labor.
Most educators try to solve this with "Unit Test Auto-graders," but those break the moment a student changes a file structure or uses a different library. Bulk evaluation requires a smarter approach.
Group Management
Organize students into groups or cohorts. Import a simple CSV of GitHub links and let the system handle the rest.
Parallel Execution
Evals.sh doesn't grade one by one. We spin up agent clusters to evaluate dozens of projects simultaneously.
The 3-Step Bulk Workflow
1. The Bulk Import
Instead of manually creating "Audits" for every student, use our Bulk Import tool. You simply upload a CSV with student names and their live project URLs or Repository links. The system automatically creates a scoped "Group" where all results will be aggregated.
2. Defining the "Agentic Rubric"
This is where the magic happens. Instead of writing brittle Selenium scripts, you give our AI agents a descriptive goal.
Example: "Ensure the user can log in, add two items to the cart, and reach the final checkout page without errors."
The agents adapt to every student's unique UI, finding the right buttons and inputs regardless of their naming conventions.
3. Review the Master Dashboard
Once the batch process is complete, you don't get 100 confusing log files. You get a Master Gradebook showing:
- Success Rates: Who reached the logic goal and who didn't.
- Technical Debt: Security headers, performance scores, and a11y compliance.
- Comparison Metrics: Who built the fastest app? Whose code is the cleanest?

Reclaiming the Role of "Mentor"
The true value of bulk evaluation isn't just the time saved; it's the quality of life for the educator. By automating the objective, binary checks ("Does the login work?"), you free up your mental energy to provide subjective critique that code can't give.
You can spend your time discussing design intent, scalability, and career growth, while Evals.sh handles the "brute force" part of the job.
