Formuley Edu gives instructors one place to set practical coursework, review the student's linked work, and guide revisions. Your school sets the curriculum and assessment standards; Formuley keeps the assignment, formulation work, and feedback connected.

Find the work that needs you

Open Teaching to see your assigned classes, upcoming work, and submissions needing review. Open Classes to work within a particular class. Open Review when you want to move through submitted work in one queue.

If a class is missing, ask a school administrator to confirm your class assignment. Do not create a second class to work around missing access.

Prepare an assignment students can follow

  1. Open the intended class and its Assignments area.
  2. Create or open an assignment. Give it a clear title and brief, and explain what the student should hand in. For a formulation task, state whether you expect a formula, ingredient rationale, process notes, observations, a test plan, or a revision.
  3. Set the due date and any submission requirements. Check that the instructions distinguish work students can complete now from testing or evidence that still needs to be gathered.
  4. Review the assignment's AI coaching and Ask your instructor settings. These can narrow, but not override, school-wide rules.
  5. Save the details, then publish the assignment when it is ready. Reopen the student-facing view to confirm the brief and action are clear.

Saving assignment details and publishing an assignment are separate steps. If students cannot see a task, check its publish state and their class enrollment first.

Keep students informed

Use the class Announcements area for information everyone in that class needs. Use Ask your instructor replies for a student's assignment-specific question when the feature is enabled. A reply to one student's help request is not a class announcement.

If your school has disabled new help requests, existing threads and replies remain available. You can still review and comment on submitted work.

Review a submission

  1. Open Review, then select the student and assignment. Verify you are in the correct class before acting.
  2. Read the brief beside the student's submission. Check the linked formula and notes, then look at ingredient reasoning, observations, test planning, and earlier feedback where relevant.
  3. Distinguish recorded evidence from a proposed or incomplete test. A formula check or AI suggestion is formative support, not a grade or approval.
  4. Give specific feedback: what is sound, what needs evidence, and what the student should do next.
  5. Approve the work when it meets your standard, or request a revision and explain what to change. The student can then update the linked work and resubmit.

Use the review history to follow changes over time. Avoid asking students to create an unrelated formula or duplicate submission when the assignment already has connected work.

Review progress after feedback

Return to Teaching or the class's Submissions and Insights areas to see what is still waiting. A requested revision is not approved work. Portfolio visibility and credentials require the relevant school and review decisions; they do not follow automatically from a draft, AI check, or submission.

For the exact AI and student-question controls, see Control student AI and instructor help.
