Key Capabilities
What makes Gradescope powerful
Grade PDF submissions
Collect student uploaded PDFs or scan paper work then grade question by question using a rubric. Apply feedback consistently across many submissions and adjust rubric points while preserving a clear audit trail for each question.
Build dynamic rubrics
Create rubric items for each question and reuse the same feedback across submissions. Update rubric items during grading and apply changes broadly so consistency improves without manual rework.
Group similar answers
Use answer grouping for open response questions to review like answers together and reduce context switching. This workflow is designed to speed up grading while still using instructor defined rubric criteria.
Analyze results
Review assignment statistics at the question and rubric level to identify common errors and learning gaps. Export grades and data for reporting or for transferring results into an external gradebook workflow.
