Gradescope Workshop

We are offering a Gradescope workshop to help you create your course content before the semester starts. Here is the schedule:

Topic: Gradescope Workshop

July 13 - July 17, 2020
2:00 - 3:00 pm CDT each day (5 meetings total)

Access Recordings

What to do before the workshop

  1. Request your Gradescope Account.
  2. Log into Gradescope and explore the Gradescope 101 training course.
    • Practice grading the Demo Midterm and view the gradebook when finished.
  3. Ensure that you have access to content from your course that you are converting available in digital format (existing exams, homeworks, quizzes, etc.).

During the workshop

We will not be going over prepared presentations during the workshop. We will focus on creating content “live” during the meetings, and providing feedback to content created by the attendees. We will encourage everyone to develop Gradescope assignments outside of the workshop, so that we can review your work during the meetings.
