Gradescope provides a bubble sheet template (up to 200 questions) to expedite workflows for paper-based exams with multiple-choice questions. Large classes with several hundred students often rely on multiple-choice question exams answered on a Scantron bubble sheet and processed, for a fee, with a special machine. With Gradescope, bubble sheets can be scanned by students with their smartphone or in bulk by the instructor using a basic, multi-sheet office scanner. Our assessment technology office is also available to facilitate secure scanning of exams.
