• 2. Select the active scoring profile for which you want to submit.
• 3. Click “View Grading Dashboard”.

  • Be sure to differentiate the paragraph assignments from the essay assignments once you see the list of assignments.
• 5. Select the assignment that you want to submit to.
  • Click the title of the assignment or click the word “EXPAND” to the left of the
    assignment.
• 6. Select “Choose File” to choose a file from your computer to upload.
  • Note: Gradient will only accept files with the extension .pdf.
