On the right, there are circular icons representing people in different colors, symbolizing a group or class.

Gradescope License for the College of Science

The Penn State Eberly College of Science has acquired a college-wide license for Gradescope, available for instructor use beginning in January 2026. Gradescope is an online grading platform that supports paper-based, digital, and coding assignments; speeds up rubric-based grading; and provides question-level analytics that can inform course and assessment design.

Gradescope can help instructors provide more consistent feedback, manage grading more efficiently in large-enrollment courses, and identify common student difficulties across questions or learning outcomes.​

If you'd like to explore more about Gradescope, check out their Instructors' Guides or reach out to Melissa Hicks.

The scene includes a diverse group of university instructors (men and women of different ethnicities) engaging with digital tools like laptops, tablets, and interactive screens in a modern academic setting. The environment should feel collaborative and innovative, with subtle science-themed elements (like molecules, data charts, or lab equipment) in the background.
