Assignments are graded using easily-customized rubrics or points. Reports allow you to track and measure student progress.

Gradescope
Gradescope’s primary use is to grade and manage paper-based handwritten assignments and exams. After initial setup and syncing with Canvas, assignments and exams can be scanned and uploaded to Gradescope by the instructor or by individual students. Once uploaded, Gradescope uses handwriting recognition to identify the students’ names and responses, organizing them for grading. Gradescopes dynamic rubric provides flexibility in grading and providing feedback. The final scores can then be synced to Canvas and students can view the feedback.
You will receive a welcome email from Gradescope in your Georgetown inbox upon first setting up or interacting with Gradescope in Canvas.
You should ignore the request to change your Gradescope password in this email.
