Help Submitting Labs
This page concerns submitting a lab via Gradescope. In particular, labs that require to be in PDF format like the ones found in CS261.
Unless you are editing the PDF directly, you need to convert an image of your completed lab to PDF format. Gradescope may encounter issues when uploading a PDF generated with certain PDF editors; thus, this page is for verified processes for submitting valid PDFs that don't encounter issues when submitted for grading.
Submitting Using a Physical Scanner
The most traditional way of converting your hand-written work to PDF is a document scanner. These can be purchased as a standalone unit or be part of an all-in-one printer. You may also use the scanners in the JMU Libraries or your local library.
Submitting Using Gradescope
Gradescope has built-in support for both document scanning and existing files that's already present on your device.
If you are submitting with files already present on your device, keep in mind that Gradescope will not automatically crop and re-size the image for you.
