Gradescope: Streamlined workflows for fast, fair, and authentic handwritten assessments

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.
