Gradescope
The system is currently available as a pilot. During the pilot phase, the working of Gradescope in MyCourse may not be seamless and may require adjustment. Pilot-phase users are requested to inform us about the use, provide feedback and report possible issues by sending an email to turnitin@aalto.fi. The pilot ends on 31.12.2022.
Gradescope is software that helps streamline grading and provide feedback for students' assignments and exams. It can be used for both digital and paper-based assignments and exams. Gradescope is integrated into MyCourses. Gradescope can be useful to cut down the time spent on grading and to ensure that grading remains consistent, fair and objective regardless of group size. Once grading is completed, Gradescope also provides a visual representation of the students' overall performance, which can be a valuable learning indicator.
