Tutorials
Gradescope offers two demo courses with a variety of sample assignments for you to grade. (See screenshot here.)
I recommend the following learning path:
Watch the first five videos in the Getting Started guide.
Grade the sample assignment in the "Gradescope Tutorial" demo course
Grade some sample assignments in the "Assignment Examples" demo course
Grade one of the subject specific exams. Mathematics or Economics would be appropriate for most faculty.
Grade the Bubble Sheet Exam.
If you teach programming: Grade the Computer Science assignment
After that point, try it out with actual exams from your courses.
Usage tips
Some considerations for using Gradescope effectively:
All handwritten papers must be scanned. Consider using paperclips instead of staples to bind test papers together.
Gradescope allows importing of all test papers as a single PDF.
Paperclips can be easily removed to facilitate easier scanning of test papers.
For questions where students are provided with a large amount of workspace, consider including a box for final answers.
Gradescope detects handwriting and groups equivalent responses together.
Having a smaller space for detection improves accuracy of detection and saves you time.
