When an instructor enrolls a student in a Gradescope course via Blackboard import, how is that student notified?
Answer: When the instructor syncs the roster from Blackboard to Gradescope, they’ll have an option to send an email notification to all imported students.
If you, the instructor, check this box, all students will receive an email with instructions for accessing Gradescope. If you don’t check the box, students won’t be notified, and the instructor will be able to send out the notification email later, once they’re ready to publish grades for the first assignment.
What do students see when an item is graded? How do they see feedback?
Answer: Viewing Your Grades and Feedback
Do students need to create a Gradescope account or is this all linked with Blackboard?
Answer: Gradescope accounts are automatically created for each student when the instructor syncs the roster with Blackboard. So students do not need to individually register for accounts. To log in, each student can either set a password via the link in the Gradescope email notification, or they can use single sign-on by going to the Gradescope site, clicking log in, selecting School Credentials, and logging in with their Rochester NetID and password.
