Grading

Draft

This documentation is in draft and under active review. Figures for the Fall 2026 GPU reservation system are not yet published, and some pages describe behavior that has not been verified against a primary source. Confirm any figure with parasol@ucsd.edu before relying on it.

This section is for instructors and TAs who grade assignments in a Datahub course. Start with the choice of grading tool, then follow the nbgrader workflow from creating an assignment to importing grades into Canvas.
