ReadyHo

Any subject your college teaches

The software does not know what subject it is used for. Your faculty set the work and write the scorecard. Everything after runs the same way, whether the work is a contract, a floor plan, a shooting script, or an essay.

What your department brings, and what the software brings

Your subject knowledge stays with you. The paperwork does not.

Your faculty write
The brief
What the student makes, by when, and in what format.
Your faculty write
The scorecard
Four to six things you are marking, and a short line describing what good work looks like at each level. You can copy one of ours and change it.
Your college invites
The professional
Someone working in the field who reads the finished work. Most departments already know these people. They are your alumni, your guest faculty, your external jurors.
ReadyHo does
Everything else
Collecting the work, the first draft score, the finished record, and the trail showing who decided what. None of it is subject specific.

That last part is the point. Add a new department next year and nothing about the software has to change.

What this looks like in four departments

These are examples of the kind of work, not a list of what is supported.

Design and architecture

Your students already present work to a jury of faculty and outside professionals. The judgment gets spoken in a room and then it is gone, and the student cannot show it to anyone. This writes it down instead.

What students hand in:

  • a studio scheme at design development stage, with a stated intention
  • a site analysis, and the conclusions drawn from it
  • a visual identity system, with the reasoning behind it
  • a competition entry, judged against the brief it answered

Law

The standards are already written down, in conduct rules, in drafting practice, and in what a court will accept, so the scorecard rests on something solid rather than on taste. Most law schools already bring practising advocates in as guest faculty, moot judges, and viva examiners. Those are your reviewers.

What students hand in:

  • a limitation of liability clause, drafted against the provisions around it
  • an analysis of a line of authority, applied to a set of facts
  • a client advice note written for a reader who is not a lawyer
  • a compliance review against a named regulation

Media and business

No test can decide whether a shooting script works. A professional reads it and says where it fails. That is the assessment, and it is what this is built for.

What students hand in:

  • a shooting script, and the treatment behind it
  • an edit, with the decision list and a written reason for the choices
  • a market entry analysis for a named company and market
  • a financial model, with its assumptions written out separately
  • a campaign plan, with the budget attached

Business has no licensing body, so the professional signs with their job title and employer instead of a licence number. The person reading the record decides how much weight that carries. They can see exactly who it was.

Humanities and social sciences

Essays and field studies arrive in large numbers, and written work is the easiest kind for the software to give a first draft score on. That is where a department feels the workload drop first.

What students hand in:

  • a research essay, marked on its argument and its sources
  • a literature review
  • a field study write up, with the method stated
  • a policy brief written for a named audience

Where this adds less

We would rather tell you now than after you have set it up.

Code that a test suite can already mark

If a program either passes the tests or does not, let the tests decide. They are faster and more consistent than three people reading it. The software will accept the work like anything else. It just adds less. An engineering capstone or a written report is a different matter, and works like everything else on this page.

Skills performed in a room

A lab procedure or a clinical session is judged by watching someone do it, and that needs a qualified person present. A record here covers the document that was handed in, and says so plainly. A lab report, a case presentation, or a treatment plan is a document, and is marked like any other document.

Health subjects

For teaching and training only. Never for patient care, and never for clinical decisions.

Worth knowing before you start: nursing and allied health departments already have well funded software from established vendors, some of it doing similar things. Check what you already have first.

Scorecards you can start from

We publish a few finished scorecards, free to copy and change. So far they cover contract drafting, case analysis, an identity system, and a studio project at review. Those are the ones we wrote first, not the edge of what works.

A department that teaches something else writes its own. The licence only asks that you credit where it came from.
