Gradescope is an online grading platform that helps faculty administer and grade their assessments more efficiently while still providing individual feedback to students. Another key benefit of Gradescope is that instructors can provide consistent feedback to students, even in large classes. Gradescope also allows students to upload pen and paper assessments for instructor or teaching assistant review.
Gradescope is integrated into Canvas and it can be accessed from within a Canvas course. Additional information is provided below for faculty.
