Below are the steps to link your Canvas assignment to Gradescope.
How do I create my Canvas assignments in Gradescope?
Note: This procedure is universal for creating Exams, Quizzes, or Homework assignments, with slight variability for each assignment type.
- Log into your Canvas account using your FSUID credentials.
-
Navigate to your course and select the Assignments tab.
-
Select the (1) Assignments Settings dropdown menu and then
select (2) Gradescope.
-
Once the Gradescope window appears, select
(1) A new Gradescope assignment, then
(2) Link Assignment.
Selecting Assignment Types
Specify what type of assignment it is that you're trying to create: Exam/Quiz, Problem Set, or Bubble Sheet.
Note: Bubble sheets can be used for any multiple-choice assignment.
Configuration and Variability
Once selected, you will specify a few things depending on the assignment type.
-
For all assignment types, you will first need to name your
assignment.
-
Next, you will need to upload a PDF of the assignment. A
blank PDF may be uploaded if you do not have a PDF containing homework
problems.
-
Now you have the option to use the
Submission Anonymization feature, which allows for
assignments to be graded anonymously.
-
Here is where the assignment type variability occurs: For
Homework/Problem Set, it will auto-populate
Student Uploaded Submissions. This allows you to set a
Release Date and a Due Date for students and a
Late Due Date and Time Limit on
assignments.
-
If creating an Exam/Quiz assignment, the
Instructor Upload option will auto-populate and forego the
above specifications.
-
Finally, you will have the option to
create your assignment rubric while grading the assignment
or prior to assignment uploads.
Note: It is recommended to create your rubric while grading so as not to require editing of the rubric later on, but it is entirely up to your preference.
Customizing Sections and Visibility
Before your assignment is created, Gradescope offers the ability to Customize Sections of your course(s). You can adjust Due Date/Time ranges, Student Visibility, or Time Limits. You can bypass this page and edit this information in the Assignment Settings.
Select Create Assignment, and it will link to your Canvas Course:
