Manage your coursework with Windsurf

Cascade can pull your entire curriculum into your editor using `list_courses` and `list_course_work`. It handles the heavy lifting of tracking deadlines so you can focus on instruction. You'll see every assignment's status without opening a browser. Use `get_course` to verify details before making adjustments to your active schedule.

Automate grading and feedback loops

Stop clicking through UI menus for every student submission. Use `list_submissions` to identify missing work and `return_submission` to push feedback back to the student record. Windsurf chains these actions to clear your grading queue. It detects when assignments are ready for review and executes the return once you confirm the grade.

Broadcast updates to your classroom

Keep your students informed by triggering `create_announcement` from your code editor. It pushes updates directly to the course stream as soon as you save your changes. Cascade can also use `create_course_work` to deploy new materials instantly. You maintain full control over the content while the agent handles the delivery.
