Understanding assignment settings, gradebook options, SpeedGrader, and Gradescope allows you to run an efficient course and provide clear feedback to students. We will cover step-by-step methods for customizing and grading course assignments seamlessly.

For those interested in using Gradescope with Canvas, the final 30 minutes of the session will focus on how Gradescope can support additional grading and assessment needs.
