Terms of use
What you are using
CafeClass is a tool that helps instructors keep track of their classes. It is not any institution's academic system. Nothing recorded here replaces official records, and no official record depends on this platform.
In particular, because these are the two points that cause the most confusion:
- Attendance recorded here is not a roll call and does not count as presence or absence in an academic system. It is the instructor's supporting note, made by exception, and it is not a class register. Treating the two as equivalent is not recommended: official attendance is entered by the instructor in the institution's system, by another route.
- Scores and reputation are not grades. They are used to follow how the class is going. The official grade is entered by the instructor in the institution's system and does not come from here.
A discrepancy between what appears on this platform and what is in the institution's system is resolved by the institution's system.
Who can use it
Students in the responsible instructor's classes, with an account created by invitation, by the class entry code or by signing in with a Google Account, when available. The account is personal and non-transferable: do not lend your access or use someone else's.
What is expected of you
- Submit your own work, following the rules the instructor sets for each assignment.
- Do not try to access another student's data or get around deadlines, attempts or grading.
- Do not post offensive, illegal or off-topic content on the bulletin board or in comments.
- Keep your contact e-mail up to date, if you want to receive notices.
The instructor may deactivate an enrollment or remove content that breaks these rules.
Automatic grading and review
Essay questions receive an automatic evaluation from a language model, which the instructor reviews. Accepting the AI terms of use is a condition for submitting an assignment with essay questions.
Language models make mistakes. The automatic evaluation is a first reading, not the final word: you can ask for re-evaluation and human review, and the instructor's decision prevails over any automatic grade.
Content you write
The answers and comments you send remain yours. The platform stores them so that instructor and student can consult them, correct them and follow the class's progress, and does not use them for any other purpose — they are not published, assigned or used to train any model.
Availability
The platform is run by the instructor and may be offline for maintenance, updates or because of a failure. There is no guarantee of continuous availability. If it is offline close to a deadline, talk to the instructor: a deadline extension or an extra attempt can be granted case by case, and that is how technical problems are resolved — not at the student's expense.
Termination
You can ask at any time for a copy of your data or the removal of your identity, as described in the privacy policy. Once the semester is over, access to the class may be closed by the instructor.

Questions about grades, deadlines or official attendance: talk to the instructor. This platform decides none of the three.
