About Gradescope

Gradescope is a suite of tools designed to accommodate a common grading workflow. Students or instructors scan and upload their homework or exams.

The software can reveal valuable statistics about students work, and provide a path for students to request re-grades of questions. 

Benefits

  • Dynamic rubrics and equitable grading
  • Support for multiple assignment types: on-paper & handwritten, online, programming, and multiple choice
  • Automatic grading and answer grouping
  • Detailed analytics
  • Grade syncing to bCourses
