Here’s a high-level look at the bubble sheet workflow. This visual outlines what the overall process looks like for a typical in-person exam using Gradescope.

1. Create Assignment in Gradescope - When getting started with Gradescope, you will first need to complete the following steps:
   1. Link your Canvas course to Gradescope (one-time only)
   2. Sync your Canvas roster to Gradescope (We recommend doing this several times at the start of the semester to ensure adds and drops get synced).
   3. Create your bubble sheet exam in Gradescope. (To be completed for each exam).
   4. Link your Gradescope assignment in Canvas. (To be completed for each exam).
2. Administer Exam in Class
   1. Rather than purchasing a Scantron form, students will need to print a Gradescope bubble sheet form.
3. Scan Completed Answer Sheets
   1. Once your exam is completed, you will need to scan your answer sheets to PDF using any standard scanner. For tips, please visit Gradescope Scanning Tips.
4. Upload to Gradescope
