What is Gradescope?
Gradescope streamlines the grading and feedback process for a variety of assessment types and online grading options:
- Dynamic rubrics enable assessors an ability to provide consistent and more timely grades and feedback. Any change to rubric criteria gets applied to previously graded work.
- AI-assisted grading allows instructors to automatically group similar answers and grade all the answers in each group at once.
- Programming assignments allows the submission of computer code in various languages, which can be manually or auto-graded at scale.
- Automatically grade printed bubble sheets designed by the instructor.
- Monitor students’ performance and gain insights on student learning using a variety of learning analytics.
- Assignments in Nexus link directly to assignments in Gradescope.
Gradescope works well for a wide variety of answer types: paragraphs, proofs, diagrams, fill-in-the-blanks, multiple choice, and more. The biggest users so far have been in courses in Math, Computer Science, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Economics, and Business — but it is also a tool that is useful to most subject areas/levels. You can check out some examples of questions and Gradescope rubrics from real instructors.
