Gradescope Workflow for Instructors

0:01during the next 20 minutes I'm going to show you how to grade on grade scope both using our basic grading interface and using our AI assisted grading tool how to publish grades to students online what grade scope looks like from the student perspective and some of the statistics features that we have on grade scope so let's start with grading since that's where the bulk of your time as an instructor will be spent so I'm going to go ahead and start grading question one on this demo exam so what I'm seeing here on the left is one student's handwritten answer to question one and on the right I see the

0:40rubric so the way that this got into grade scope uh if it was a exam or a quiz that students took in class instructors can scan those in uh and get them into grade scope or students can also submit their own work in the case of a problem set or a homework assignment and in that case students can just take photos using their smartphones or upload a PDF but regardless of how the work gets into grade scope the grading interface is the same so in this case the student got the correct answer that is indeed the integral of x and to check that off I'm just going to check

1:15the correct rubric item we see the student got zero points and they got a full score of three out of three for this question so now I'm going to go click next and now I'm seeing a different student's answer to the same question so the default way to grade on grade scope is to grade one question at a time that is grade all students for question one then grade all students for question two Etc you always do have access to every other question on the same students exam so if I did want to see the students answer for question two I can navigate to that from

1:51the menu up here but most instructors find that grading one question at a time is faster more consistent and makes more sense sense because you can build the rubric as you grade and as you see new types of mistakes so in this case the student did make a mistake they're missing the one half so I'm going to add a new rubric item I'm going to type a description and I can change the point value to decide how many points we'll be taking off so let's say that we deem this to be a Minor error and I'm only going to take off one point now I check off this rubric item

2:28and we see that the student lost that one point and their score for this question is a two out of three I'm going to click next to move to the next students answer the student has the correct answer so I can either check off my existing correct rubric item or I can grade even faster with keyboard shortcuts so I can just press the one key on my keyboard to select that rubric item and I can use any of the numbers on my keyboard to select the corresponding rubric items there's also a bunch of other keyboard short shortcuts that you can read about in in our help center and

3:04I'm going to press the right arrow key on my keyboard to move on to the next student's answer the student made a new kind of mistake they're missing the constant so I'm going to add a rubric item type a description let's say we deem this to be a bigger deal so we're going to deduct two points going to select the rubric item and if I want to write directly on the student submission I can do that using my annotation tools up here so I have a pen tool that will let me freeh hand write on the submission I have a box tool which I can use to highlight uh

3:42various parts of the submission and I have a text annotation tool which I can use to type comments and I can also extend the arrow to point to a specific part of the submission that the comment applies to so let's take a look at one more student the student made two types of mistakes mes they're missing the 1 half so I'm going to check off uh my second rubric item by pressing the number two on my keyboard and they're missing the constant so I'm going to press the three on my keyboard so now we see that the student got a zero out of three let's say we've

4:14been grading many students and we see that a lot of them are answering X squ and we decide that we do want to award these students partial credit so what you can do on grade scope is you can decide that missing a constant is only going to be worth one point off we can change the point value of the rubic item and now we see that this student got the point back but also every other student who has missed the constants also just got that point back so this rubric is shared among all students and so you can change the way that certain mistakes are graded and scored as you go and those

4:47changes will apply automatically retroactively to already graded students so before we jump to AI assistant grading I wanted to show you a couple more useful features on the grading page if you're grading with Tas or multiple graders multiple people can be grading the same question at the same time and no two people will ever look at the same submission at the same time as long as everyone's using this next ungraded button this uh field down here is specific only to the student that you're grading so while the rubric is shared among all students if I want to type a comment or make a point adjustment just for this one student I

5:27can do that down here so I can type something like see me in office hours review chapter 2 whatever you want to tell the student and then you can reuse these comments so if I also want the student to see me in office hours I can type in select that comment down here so I don't have to retype it and if I ever want to check uh which students have applied a certain rubric item to I can hover over and click on the magnifying glass and that's going to show me all of the students who had that rub item applied so I can click on their names

6:02and double check that all the grading has been consistent so that's the basic grading interface uh now you can right now with this basic grading interface as you could see we graded each submission one at a time so we were still looking at every single student's answer with our AI assist to grading and manual answer grouping features we can actually grade even faster by grouping all the similar answers together and Grading each group at once so I want to show you that next and the AI assisted grading and manual answer grouping features are part of our grade scope Complete product and if you'd like to try them out or if you'd

6:41like to know whether your University already has an Institutional agreement that gives you access to these features please just email us at healthgrades scope.com and we're happy to give you a trial or answer any questions you may have about grade scope complete or pricing so I'm going to now grade the same same integral question that I was just grading but now instead of grading each answer individually I'm going to form answer groups first gr scope can automatically form answer groups for multiple choice questions questions where students Write a math response in a fixed box or in a fixed line and questions where students write text in a

7:21box or on a line so in this case this is a math question so I'm going to select the math question type and what great sc's going to do now is it's going to look at all of my students answers and it's going to form groups of similar answers so this is a group for all the students who answered x s all the students who answered x2+ C the students who answered 1 12 X2 the students who didn't know the correct answer and the students who actually got the question correct so I can quickly review to make sure that the AI uh correctly identified the answers in each

7:56group so these look good these are all x^2 + C just going to go ahead and quickly review all of my groups and any answers that the AI wasn't sure about are going to be left for you to group manually at the end so in this case I can just drag over this 12x2 plus C to the appropriate group drag this guy over to the blank group and drag this one over to the 12x s group all right all my answers have been grouped and so now when I go to grade I'm going to see a very similar grading interface to what we were just looking

8:35at before with the basic grading interface but now I'm grading four submissions at once so I'm grading all the students who answered X2 plus C so again I can create that rubric item to describe the mistake of missing the one half I can decide to deduct one point I can check it off but now when I go to the next answer I'll see that I just graded four out of my 19 students so this can be very useful for grading a lot of students at once especially for questions where there are only a few correct answers or only a few answer answer possibilities and for any other type of

9:15question that's not multiple choice fill in the blank math or fill in the blank text you can still use the answer grouping features but you can group the answers manually so in this case I have a simple geography question where students were asked to shade in South Dakota so I can select manual grouping as my question type and so I'm going to see all of my students answers as thumbnails on the left and I can quickly go through and form the groups of correct of similar answers myself so I'm just going to go ahead and select all of the students who correctly shaded South Dakota this can be very useful for

9:53chemistry diagrams Lew structures charts graphs tables things like that where you can very easily quickly uh see all the similar answers and group them together so I'm going to create a group give it a name and now I can see that I'm going to be grading all nine students who correctly shaded South Dakota uh all at once and I can form more groups or I can just grade the rest of my answers individually even for more complex questions a lot of instructors find it helpful to group all the correct answers first and then grade everything else one by one so that way you can spend more time

10:31grading the answers that need uh more effort and not spend time clicking and reusing feedback for the correct answers so that's basically grading on grade scope so regardless of how you're grading whether you're grading some questions individually some with grouping or just using grouping or individual grading for all of them once you're done grading you can publish grades to students so on the review grades page you'll see all of your students names you'll see their scores you'll have an option to download grades so if you'd like to get the grades into your learning management system like canvas Blackboard uh bright space you can download grades and get a

11:10spreadsheet that you can then upload into your learning management system uh if we do have an Institutional license with your school this can be done automatically but for everyone else you would need to manually download the spreadsheet upload it into blms and then you can publish the grades to students so that they can view their grades and submissions online so when I click publish grades I get an option to notify my students over email so I'm going to compose email the students here I can edit the subject line edit the body by default students see some basic statistics I can delete or add anything I want here and if

11:47students have never logged into grade scope before they'll get a link an emailed link to set a password and if they have they'll just get an emailed link to access the assignment so once I send this out to all my students on the student side I can log in so I'm going to show you what the student interface looks like all right so when I log in as a student I'm going to see my exam I'm going to see my score I can click on it I'll see my original submission that the instructor scanned in on the left or that I scanned in if it was a student

12:27uploaded assignment and on the right I'll see the rubric I'll see my score for each question I can click on the question to see the full rubric and any rubric items that were're applyed to me will be highlighted uh as an instructor if you only want students to see the rubric items that were applied to them you have a option to do that on the settings page but by default students do see the full rubric for the full context of why they got the points off so as a student I can go through look at my score zoom in on my submission if I disagree with the

13:00scoring by default I can request to regrade so this will let me type a justification to the instructor and instructors will be able to review regrade requests and reply to the students as an instructor if you don't want to deal with regrade requests you can disable those uh on your R request page or you can set a time window during which students can submit them but by default uh students do have the option to submit as many regrades as they want for as many questions as they want so the instructor's

13:35side you have a regrade request page and you'll see all incoming regrade requests here you can review them so I can see that the students said I think I deserve more points and you can look at their submission if they do you can change the rubric or give them a point adjustment and regardless you can reply to the reg requests and and the student's going to get an email with that reply so finally the last thing I want to show you is one feature that a lot of instructors find useful on grade scope and that's our assignment statistics page so what we're looking at here is

14:13the statistics page for a real computer science midterm at UC Berkeley that the instructor kindly let us use so I can immediately see the mean score for each question on this exam I can see that students didn't do that well on question 3.6 and as an instructor I might then ask is that because that question was towards the end of the exam and students ran out of time or is it because they were actually struggling with the concept of question 3.6 and I can get that kind of insight by looking at the rubric item level analysis so these were all the rubric items for question 3.6 and I can see

14:50that only 19% of my students left that question blank so perhaps it was actually that they were struggling with the concept and not that the question was towards the end of the exam exam and one other thing I can do with Statistics is I can tag my questions with course objectives or concepts so it looks like questions 2.1 and 2.2 on this exam we're testing students abilities to draw environment diagrams and I can look at a tag level analysis of how students did on these various Concepts so looking at this it looks like students did mostly know how to draw environment diagrams but maybe they strugg with recursion so

15:30perhaps that's a topic I might want to review more during my next lecture and that's basically it those are the primary feutures of great scope if you'd like to see anything else or if you have any questions as you're trying things out uh please reach out to us at help atg gradescope.com and we'd love to hear from you hear any feedback you may have and answer any questions you may have and thank you so much for taking the time to watch this demo have a great day
