Jobs at Gradescope

Learning has been assessed in the same way for decades: instructors give out paper-based assignments, tediously grade them by hand, and return them to students. With this process, instructors gain little insight into their students’ knowledge. Simply measuring how often a specific mistake is made requires painstaking tallying. Answering the question “What concepts are my students struggling with?” is practically impossible. Gradescope lets instructors give out the same paper-based assignments, but then grade them online, while keeping track of the exact mistakes made by every student on every question. This enables unprecedented data analytics: for example, we can reveal which concepts a student needs help with, or which questions are too difficult. To top it off, instructors finish grading in half the time. Gradescope got started at Berkeley as a side project of a Computer Science professor and three grad students. We are now well funded, work from our office in downtown Berkeley, and looking to expand our team!
