lot, but once you've used this tool, there's no going back."

I can do now in 15 minutes."
Romulo ChumaceroEconomicsUniversity of Chile
[IMG: J. Patrick McKinzie]
"One of the best things about the experience was that I could learn and adjust
what & how I wanted to grade as I viewed students' answers and they came up with
things I had not anticipated."
J. Patrick McKinzieAviationMinnesota State UniversityMankato

[IMG: Katie Johnson]
"The statistics really help me understand what I can teach differently next time
to help my students learn better."
Katie JohnsonMathFlorida Gulf CoastUniversity
[IMG: Cliff Shaffer]
"The best thing is having the scoring details inline. This lets us share more with
the students. And later, we can analyze how well the questions worked when we
are not in the middle of the grading rush."
Cliff ShafferComputer ScienceVirginia Tech
[IMG: Joanna Klukowska]
"Gradescope helps me to be a more uniform grader and to adjust scoring even after
most of the exams have been graded. It gives me quick per question, or even per
mistake, statistics to better assess how my students are doing on particular
topics."

"Gradescope is rocket fuel for grading. My students love getting feedback just a
few hours after their quizzes — a pace I can only achieve with Gradescope."

[IMG: Jesse Tov]
"Gradescope allows me to give a short quiz every day in my section of 60 students,
and grade them all on my 30 minute train ride home. The students get immediate,
custom feedback that helps them understand how they're doing in the class and
helps me monitor how things are going as well."
Jesse TovComputer ScienceNorthwesternUniversity
[H1] Answer Groups &AI-assisted Grading
[H3] Grade groups of similar answers at once. For some question types, Gradescope AI automatically forms groups for you to review.
*Answer Groups & AI-assisted Grading are part of our Institutional license.
[IMG: Anna Victoria Martinez-Saltzberg]
"Last spring, I graded 10 multiple choice questions for approximately 250 students
in 15 minutes Once the answers are grouped, you only have to check off the rubric
items once to grade all the answers!"
Anna Victoria Martinez-SaltzbergChemistrySan Francisco StateUniversity
[IMG: Ashley Berger]
"I once had an exam problem that probably would have taken an hour to grade by hand,
but with the grouping, it only took me 10 minutes The grouping feature helps me
grade more quickly since I can categorize students’ answers that are similar and
then grade each group at once."
Ashley BergerMathUniversity ofOklahoma
[IMG: Julie McGurk]
"I love being able to give group feedback. When you're pressed for time, it's hard
to put a lot of positive feedback on problems, but when you can group them, it gives
you the time to do that. I think my feedback was more detailed in general & easier
to read using Gradescope than grading by hand."

You can assess many students in different ways fairly quickly and having that sort of mixture of problems has really improved the learning in the classroom."
Peter Blomgren
San Diego State University

Matteo Paganin
Sabanci University
