This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Gradescope Assignment (Homework / Problem Set) for the submission of students' scanned handwritten assessment. 

Note: Gradescope uses US naming conventions for academic terms and will default to the current North American term time. Requests have been made with the vendor to provide Australian terms but in the meantime, staff and students can simply ignore the term name and refer only to the course name.
