Prerequisites

The Gradescope Bubble Sheet exam and answer key was created in HuskyCT
The exam was administered using the official Gradescope 100 or 200 question bubble sheet

If the test was administered on legacy Scantron sheets, you will need to grade the sheets using Scantron self-service.

Instructions

Step 1: Scanning the sheets

There are multiple ways to scan physical sheets to a computer. This article will outline the method available to most departments through a Xerox multifunction printer.

Select Email.
Enter your email address as the recipient of the scan.
Change additional settings as necessary (email subject, file name, etc.).
Select Send to scan and send to your email.
Download the attachment from the email sent by the printer.

Step 2: Grading the submissions

Once the scanned sheets are on your computer, you can upload them to Gradescope to be graded.

Navigate to the Gradescope exam entry in your HuskyCT course.
Select Manage Scans. Click Select PDF Files and select the PDF containing the scanned exam sheets. Then select Manage Submissions.
Ensure that the submissions are correctly paired to a student. If a pairing is wrong or missing, use the Student dropdown to pair an exam to the correct student. Then select Grade Submissions.

Depending on the size of the class, the system may take some time to pair and grade submissions to students.

Wait for the system to report that all questions are 100% graded. The percentage shown indicates the percentage of responses that have been graded, not the percent correct. Once graded, select Review Grades.
Review the grades. Once reviewed, select Post All Grades to University of Connecticut to send the grades to the student grade book in HuskyCT.
