How Faculty Use Gradescope feat. Tom Roby (Mathematics) and Karen Edwards (Computer Science, Tufts University)
Thursday, March 24, 2:30 -3:30
Online
Join us for an online workshop and learn how instructors use Gradescope featuring Tom Roby, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Karen Edwards, Assistant Teaching Professor at Tufts University. Tom is one of UConn's more experienced faculty with Gradescope, and Karen has extensive experience at Tufts using Gradescope in large computer science courses. The workshop will offer guidance on delivery of assignments that are paper-based, fully online, and a combination of the two.
Gradescope is a feedback and assessment tool that can dramatically reduce some difficulties and time associated with grading exams, homework, and other assignments. Gradescope is widely used for delivering assessments remotely. It enables instructors and graders to give better and more timely feedback, resulting in improved learning outcomes. Dynamic rubrics help streamline the tedious parts of grading while increasing grading consistency. AI-assisted Grading allows instructors to automatically group similar answers and grade all the answers in each group at once. Gradescope also helps with grading programming assignments at scale and can automatically grade printed bubble sheets.
A few highlights include:
- More quality and timely feedback, resulting in improved learning outcomes
- Dynamic rubrics that help streamline the tedious parts of grading while increasing grading consistency and decreasing bias
- Various assignment types ranging from fully online with many question types to handwritten, or a combination of the two
- AI-assisted grading which allows instructors to automatically group similar answers and grade all the answers in each group at once
