Create a Gradescope Exam/Quiz assignment for in-class tasks

These tasks may be delivered as a one-off in-class quiz or as a series of short-answer quizzes—for example, an invigilated quiz completed during each tutorial or workshop.

• Questions are displayed in a PowerPoint presentation or provided on a printed question paper. Consider using coloured paper so question papers can be easily collected and reused.
• Students handwrite their answers on a printed answer sheet containing fields for their name, student ID and responses to each question.
• Teaching staff batch-scan the completed answer sheets using a standard UQ printer, which emails the PDF to their UQ email address.
• Before the task, the course coordinator sets up a hidden Gradescope link, uploads the answer-sheet template and creates the marking rubric.
• Teaching staff upload the scanned PDFs to Gradescope. The software automatically separates the PDF into individual student submissions and matches each submission to the relevant student using their name and student ID.
• Teaching staff can mark by student or question-by-question. They can also mark submissions from specific tutorial or workshop groups using groups set up in Blackboard.
• The course coordinator can transfer the results directly to Gradebook. They can then make the Gradescope link available if students are to view their marks and feedback.

Tips

• Use the same question structure each week so you only need to set up one Gradescope Exam/Quiz assignment. You can duplicate and edit it for subsequent weeks—for example, if each quiz includes three short-answer questions and one extended-response question.
• Include fields for the tutorial or workshop, date and task title on the answer sheet. This allows you to use the same template for every task and tutorial/workshop group, and reuse any leftover answer sheets.
• Create multiple versions of a task by duplicating the original Gradescope Exam/Quiz assignment and grouping the versions as a single assignment. This is useful when students are sitting side-by-side or when tutorials are held at different times.
