How to say "correction/to correct" in the school/university context?


It is possible that this question appears as a duplicate of this
[one](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/30651/how-to-say-please-
correct-my-sentences). Nonetheless, in contrast to the latter, my question
here is specifically targeted towards the context of the school/university and
the teacher-student relationship, and touches upon other possible meanings of
the English "correction/to correct" (for instance (3), and the notion of
grading in (2) and (3)).

How do we say "correction"/"to correct" in the school/university context, that
is:

(1) the fact that the professor corrects the students sentences during the
class

(2) the fact that the professor corrects the students homework (which can
imply a grading)

(3) the fact that the professor corrects the students exam (which implies a
grading)

For (1), I suppose that 直す or 訂正する could be used.

For (2), I suppose it would be 添削. What about if the homework is graded?

For (3), I have no idea.




添削 is literally _adding and deleting_ , so 添削する can be used if a professor
makes corrections (e.g. in red) to students' compositions on blackboard or
notebook. It works for 1, and for 2 and 3, too. Though 添削 does NOT exclude
scoring, it is less natural for corrections with scoring.

採点 is literally _taking the score_ , so 採点する implies grading. It works for 2
and 3.

直す is a broad word for fixing, so can be used for 1 and 2 (usually no
scoring).

訂正する is less likely to be used in the context. I feel that it usually refers
to some sort of rectifying. E.g., 発言を訂正する means _to correct what the subj.
said_.

Another (perhaps very Japanese) word is 丸をつける/丸付けする because the Japanese use
circles to mark the correct answer. It is mostly synonymous to 採点する.

And note that 添削する is not very commonly used for marking yes/no exams or most
science subjects because there are usually no corrections. I guess 採点/丸付け is
more normal.
