Tips

  • You cannot link to an exact Gradescope assignment from a Canvas assignment. Instead, the link in Canvas you create by following these instructions will land students on the Gradescope course dashboard. They will need to select the appropriate assignment from there.
  • No grades will be passed from the Gradescope assignment to the Canvas assignment,即使你遵循这些指令,因为GradeScope.does not yet work with Canvas in this way. Use the steps in the later section of this guide to find out how to manually copy and paste grades from Gradescope to Canvas.
  • 您可以在GradeScope仪表板上看到当前活动的所有作业,但不是无效的任务。如果已发布级别,则作业变为非活动状态,因此未决regrade请求,一周内没有更新。但是,您可以通过单击GradeScope课程的左侧菜单中的“分配”访问主动和非活动分配。

设置与GradeScope等级的定制rubrics

Once your students have completed an assignment, you can create question-level rubrics in Gradescope for your entire grading team to use in grading. These rubrics can be applied in combination with submission-specific adjustments (to change points for individual answers, outside the rubrics) and written comments, when grading student work.

  1. Log in to your Canvas course, and clickGradeScope.在课程导航中。
  2. In your Gradescope course, clickAssignments从左侧菜单中,然后单击分配名称.
  3. Rubrics in Gradescope are created as part of the grading process. Click级别提交in the left-hand menu, and click the问题您想为其设置Rubrics。
  4. ClickGradeat the bottom of the screen, and the grading rubric will be displayed in the right-hand panel. The rubric default is always a simple rubric for correct (students earn full marks) / incorrect (students get zero marks).
  5. By default, Gradescope also sets up your rubrics to use a negative scoring scheme. ClickRubric Settingsto change the default:
    • Positive Scoring- start from zero and add points (positive or negative) by clicking rubric items
    • Negative Scoring- start from the total points available for the question and subtract points (positive or negative) by clicking rubric items
  6. Click+Add Rubric Itemto create a single rubric orCreate Group将一组类似的量规项一起创建。对于您添加的每个标题,请设置描述和点。
    • You can use what's calledMarkdown语法in rubric items to insert images, links, code blocks, tables, lists, bold or italic text, and more. In the description box, select one of theiconsor use a Markdown command.
  7. If you have rubrics in Gradescope, you can reuse them instead of adding new ones. Click进口从您的预先存在的rubrics中选择。
  8. After you complete setting up rubrics for a question, you can use the question navigation menu at the top of the rubric panel to move to a different question. Click the问题标题and a drop-down menu of questions will appear, allowing you to jump to another part of the assignment. Continue through the assignment until you've added all the custom rubrics you'd like the teaching team to use.

Tips

  • 您可以随时更改Gircescope Rubrics。For example, if you'd like to increase the weight of a rubric, you can change its points and Gradescope will automatically apply the change to all students to whom the rubric was applied.
  • Modify rubric descriptions as you go to reflect how the rubric is being applied. Updates to make descriptions more specific will help the grading team be more consistent in how the rubric is applied.
  • When choosing rubrics, consider what rubrics would be meaningful to view, both for the students trying to understand their grades and for your teaching team in looking at class-wide analytics. Try to avoid rubrics that are points-based (e.g., one item wrong, three items wrong) rather than descriptive as well as rubrics that force graders to choose from a group (e.g., which of the following items best applies), since students won't be able to see the non-chosen rubrics.
  • Keep in mind that Gradescope requires assigning at least one rubric item for each question, to consider it graded. Therefore, you will always need a rubric item to indicate when an answer in positive scoring is entirely incorrect (i.e., add no points) or an answer in negative scoring is entirely correct (i.e., subtract no points).
  • When practical, choose a positive or negative scoring scheme based on what will be fastest for the teaching team to enter,特别是在大课程中。例如,如果预计学生对大部分问题进行大部分问题,请使用负数评分,以便在分级时保存点击/击键。
  • 为了进一步提高效率,将十个或更多标题物品分成两部分的任何问题此外,标准物品的一半在屏幕上出现在屏幕上,等级机器不需要滚动。

等级学生在GradeScope工作

可用后,学生提交将在GradeScope中讨论问题。您可以在一名学生团队之间分割工作一次以一次进行一个特定的问题。

  1. Log in to your Canvas course, and clickGradeScope.在课程导航中。
  2. In your Gradescope course, clickAssignments从左侧菜单中,然后单击分配名称.
  3. Click级别提交in the left-hand menu, and click the问题that you would like to grade.
  4. ClickGradeat the bottom of the screen to begin grading. The student's submission will be displayed on the left and the grading rubric(s) will be displayed in the right-hand panel. You can click anyrubric itemto apply it, but you may find it faster to use the corresponding keyboard number or letter (whichever is in the box).
    • 请注意,您需要至少将一个标题应用于Gircrescope的每个问题,以考虑学生的提交评分。
  5. 添加任何提交特定的调整(更改各个答案的点,在rubrics之外),如果合适,请写自定义注释或从下拉下来添加预先存在的注释。
  6. If a student wrote an answer on a different page than expected for a question, you can hover over the submission and use the left and rightarrowsto navigate to other pages of the submission.
  7. PDF和图像还包括用于分级的注释工具,在返回后悬停在提交时:
    • 导航图标- 允许您单击并拖动以移动到提交。
    • 文字图标- allows you to type comments directly on the submission.
    • 铅笔图标- 允许您直接标记提交。
    • 盒子图标- allows you to draw boxes by clicking and dragging to highlight areas of the submission.
    • Eraser icon- 允许您单击任何注释以删除它。
  8. Click下一个ungroaded要查看下一个学生对同一问题的提交并继续,直到您完成了可用的意见书。

Tips

  • As you grade, you can get an overview of how the grading is progressing for the question, by clicking the total submission number in the lower left corner. This overview lists all the submissions for the question, including their status, grader(s), and score.
  • You can view student answers by rubrics applied, to check your consistency as you go. In the right-hand rubric panel, hover over any rubric item, and click the magnifying glass icon to see which student answers the rubric item has so far been applied to.
  • Highlight time savers for any teaching team members new to Gradescope, to improve their efficiency.演示如何使用数字和字母来选择rubrics,可以重新排序rubrics,以及热键可用于加速分级. Additionally, comments can be reused for multiple students, if entered without too much specificity initially.
  • Caution your teaching team to stay aware of what's happening on their screen when grading with shortcuts, since small adjustments to hand placement on the keyboard can result in not clicking the right rubrics.
  • Be clear in training teaching assistants about your expectations regarding the feedback they leave for students(i.e., how much, how often, what kind of content), as students may expect more detailed feedback using this digital medium, especially if they will not be meeting with you otherwise to go over the results.
  • GradeScope.offersartificial-intelligence featuresfor grading, which can be useful to try, when available for a particular question.

Review and release Gradescope grades to students

After grading is complete, you can review and return the graded submissions to students.

  1. Log in to your Canvas course, and clickGradeScope.在课程导航中。
  2. In your Gradescope course, clickAssignments从左侧菜单中,然后单击分配名称you'd like to release grades for.
  3. 如果有没有与学生匹配的提交(即,您上传了扫描考试,并且尚未确定),请单击管理提交在左侧菜单中。你可以尝试自动匹配提交or match them manually.
  4. 匹配所有提交并进行评分后,请单击Review Grades在左侧菜单中。
  5. At the top of the page, you will see a histogram and basic statistics that give an overview of how your students did on the assignment. Below this, you can click anystudent name观看学生的评分考试。此视图大多是学生将在发布成绩后看到的相同视图。
  6. For students to see their grades via Gradescope, grades must be published. From the "Review Grades" interface, clickPublish Grades在底部。
    • 如果你通过点击改变主意,您将能够取消发布等级。Unpullish等级,发布后会出现的选项。
  7. 出版等级允许学生查看他们的分级工作,但出版并没有通知学生他们的分级工作可以查看。要通知提交工作的学生,请单击Compose Email to Studentsoption (which appears after you publish), customize what will be sent, and click发送电子邮件.
  8. GradeScope.will send an email to each student containing a link to their score page, which includes their work, scores, and feedback.

Tips

  • Once grades are published, you can see which students have viewed their gradesby looking at the "Viewed" column on the "Review Grades" page.
  • 默认情况下,所有量规项都显示给学生,帮助学生从工作中吸取教训and assure them that grading was fair and accurate. You can choose tohide rubric items, if there are any rubrics that were intended for internal use only.
  • GradeScope.allows students to makeregrade requests, so you may want to consider formalizing the process of asking for a regrade—for example, requiring a clear written justification in addition to making the requests in the application.
  • You can download assignments where students submitted PDFs or images,如果您更愿意通过电子邮件向GradeScope以外的评分提交。在查看任何学生的分级提交时,从页面底部的下载选项中进行选择。
  • Publishing grades for students has no impact on Canvas. To share grades in your Canvas course, follow the instructions in the section below.

Use Gradescope grades in your Canvas course

成绩cannot be automatically passed from Gradescope to Canvas, because Gradescope does not yet work with Canvas in this way. To post grades from Gradescope in Canvas, you will need to manually export the grading spreadsheet from Canvas, add the grades from Gradescope, and import the updated spreadsheet back into Canvas.

  1. Log in to your Canvas course, and click成绩在课程导航中。
  2. Click行动and select出口. When the export is completed, Canvas will download a CSV file automatically to your computer that can be opened with spreadsheet software like Excel.
  3. ClickGradeScope.在课程导航中。
  4. In your Gradescope course, clickAssignments从左侧菜单中,然后单击分配名称你想下载等级。
  5. ClickReview Grades在左侧菜单中。
  6. Click下载成绩from the bottom, and selectDownload CSV.
  7. Open the文件syou downloaded from Gradescope and Canvas.
  8. Copy您的学生从GradeScope文件的成绩,paste这些成绩在画布文件中进入适当的分配列,保存the updated Canvas file.
  9. Back in Canvas, click成绩在课程导航中。
  10. Click行动and select进口.
  11. ClickChoose FileorBrowse(depending on your browser), locate the文件您在计算机上编辑,然后单击Open.
  12. Click上传数据. The grade columns will be updated.

Tips

  • 虽然您将在Gighescope中看到一个选项到Post Grade到Canvas,但此选项目前没有工作. UBC has only a partial integration of Gradescope and Canvas, and grade syncing is not yet part of that integration.
  • Advise your students that they must use the same name in Gradescope and Canvas for grades to work.一旦他们有GradeScope帐户,学生可以在GradeScope中改变他们的名字。但是,如果学生名称在两个平台中不匹配,那么学生成绩将很难让您将妥善添加到画布上。
  • In Excel, you can try using the VLOOKUP function and matching on student IDsto sort your Gradescope and Canvas spreadsheets similarly for copying and pasting grades over.
