SUMMARY:Improving your grading workflow with Gradescope
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Training\n\n \n  \n  \nGradescope was designed to allow faculty to include more diverse assessments with improved feedback while saving time on grading.  It provides capacity in larger classes where assessments beyond multiple choice can be challenging at scale. However\, for any size class it can improve the efficiency and quality of your grading for both paper (e.g. in class quizzes or exams\, worksheets\, reflections) or online assessments. \nDuring this overview\, we will walk through the tool and discuss how you can save time with grading\, expand your assessment types and improve feedback and learning data. \nThis is a virtual workshop.  Zoom information will be provided to registered participants. \nWe are no longer accepted registrations for this event.  Please register for the Dec 16th workshop if interested.
