Fall Semester Start Faculty Q&A Webinars
Driven by the rise of generative and agentic AI, instructors are increasingly leveraging handwritten work to evaluate a student’s authentic thinking, reasoning, and writing process. Yet, this return to paper brings back a familiar challenge: balancing the value of authentic assessment against the time-intensive burden of manual grading.
Join faculty and admin colleagues and a Gradescope specialist for an interactive session on how to preserve academic integrity without doubling your grading time.
