Gradescope overviewGradescope is an online platform for grading exams and homework. For each problem, you will be able to see clearly which rubric items your solution satisfied and any additional comments the grader has for you. Two important notes:
How do I get an account?Students registered for the course at the end of the first weekend should receive an email to sign up for Gradescope. Otherwise, please contact Dr. Taylor starting the morning of January 15. How do I actually upload my homework?For each homework assignment, you must
An example of the PDF submission process is depicted in this video. Note: It is also possible to choose to take a picture of each question and upload each question individually, though this is less recommended. How do I produce a PDF of my homework?This does not mean you have to do your homework on a computer. It just means you have to scan your handwritten work and create a PDF. The first thing to be aware of is that the scan will come out much better if you write in a darker pencil or pen. To actually scan your paper homework using a mobile device, Gradescope now recommends using its free mobile app, which performs the photo-scanning, conversion to a single PDF, and submission, for any Gradescope assignment. At Gradescope's page explaining the Gradescope Mobile App, you will find a video demonstrating the process. Alternatively, there are a number of mobile/tablet apps for various platforms previously recommended by Gradescope that will allow you to turn photos into multi-page PDFs. Note: GeniusScan is also available for iPhone and some may find it preferrable to Scannable. As a final alternative, there are traditional scanners in many (theoretically all) computer clusters in campus residences and many (theoretically all) campus libraries. Contact the Residential Computing help desk for details. MOST IMPORTANT POINT: Make sure to preview your scan before you upload it to Gradescope! You want to make sure that every bit of work is visible and readable so that the graders can provide accurate feedback on your solutions. What if I notice an error in a solution or forgot a page of my homework when I submitted it?If the deadline has not passed, you can resubmit your homework. Simply go to Gradescope and click on the relevant assignment to view your submission. In the bottom right hand corner of your browser, you should see a "resubmit" button. This will allow you to update your submission to correct the error you noticed. Only your final submission will be graded. Important note: Choosing to resubmit your assignment will completely erase your current submission, meaning you will have to reupload your entire solution again. Gradescope does not currently allow you to just update a single question. How can I verify that my homework has been received?You should expect to receive an email from Gradescope confirming your submission. The other way to confirm your submission is to go back into your dashboard and view that this assignment has a submission. (You'll be able to click on the assignment to view your pages.) If instead there is no submission, your status will be "No Submission." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
How do I see how I did on the homework assignment?Once the submission deadline has past, your homework will be graded. This usually takes a little under a week. Therefore, the following Tuesday, you will receive an email saying that your graded work is available for viewing. Your score as well as grader feedback on your homework will be available in Gradescope. For information about how to find and interpret the feedback, we've made an information sheet on looking over your graded assignment. What if I think one of my problems was graded incorrectly?If there is a problem where you believe you deserve more credit based on the visible work in your original submission and the grader's rubric, use Gradescope's "request regrade" feature for the appropriate problem ASAP (no later than one week after the original due date, i.e. 9am Wednesday the week after homework is due). The "Request Regrade" button appears on the bottom bar of your browser window after you have clicked to view the particular graded problem and its rubric. Please note that if a problem was missing from your submission (whether you accidentally skipped it, did the incorrect problem, or forgot to upload the relevant scan), you will not receive any credit for that problem. |
