Grading Tools
Are you looking to increase your frequency and timeliness of feedback on assessments? Want a tool that can help you reduce grading time? Well, look no further than Gradescope. Gradescope is a grading application used to grade paper and digital assignments as well as coding assignments.
Benefits of Using Gradescope:
- Positive grading: Criteria can be used to add points instead of subtracting points for errors.
- Reduction of grading time: Grade in groups with artificial intelligence to reduce the time it takes to grade and score assignments.
- Consistent scoring and grading: If a scoring criterion is changed halfway through the grading process then the change is applied to all previously scored assignments.
- Individualized feedback: Provide additional support and guidance for individual students with annotation tools.
Originality and Plagiarism Tools
Are you looking for a tool to catch plagiarism? Need a tool to check for the originality of work? Consider using SafeAssign or iThenticate.
- SafeAssign can be enabled through your Blackboard assignments and is available for undergraduate courses.
- iThenticate is available for graduate faculty and students only. You will need to contact your college administrator to gain access.
