STudent Tips for Gradescope Homework & Problem Sets Assignments

TIPS FOR GRADESCOPE'S HOMEWORK/PROBLEM SETS

Submitting PDFs: To convert paper-based, handwritten work to a PDF, we recommend using a scanning app for mobile devices, such as Scannable (iOS) or Genius Scan (iOS or Android).

Check out Submitting PDF homework in Gradescope to learn how to use these scanning apps and submit PDFs.

Watch this video for more information on submitting PDFs.

Variable Length: If the submission type is set to Variable Length, you are prompted to match each question to the corresponding page where the answer is found. If the submission type was Templated (Fixed Length), you simply upload your PDF.

See this Gradescope help page for an explanation of Submission Types.

Scanning tips:

1. Use the darkest pen, pencil or font colour possible to do your work

2. Scan on a flat surface

3. Enhance, if needed (check your scanning app's settings for filters that let you enhance, restore, lighten or darken your scans)
