When you are ready to move your finished product from Overleaf to Gradescope, you will want to download the PDF by clicking the download icon to the right of the Recompile button. The name of the PDF will be the same as the name of the project - that is fine.  Note that you can also click the "Menu" button at top left of the Overleaf screen and "PDF" is an option there.  Once downloaded, move or copy the file to your Lab01Files folder on Box for that week.

For lab assignments in EGR 103 for Fall 2023, you will be uploading a PDF of your final lab report to Gradescope. The instructions below are for Lab 1; for other labs, change the number of the lab as needed.

Make sure your lab report is correct!

Go through each page! For Lab 1, page 1 has relatively few changes, and pages 4-7 have none, but check pages 2 and 3 closely keeping in mind that minor spacing issues are not an issue but font shapes and sizes are. Make sure things in italics are and things not in italics aren't and that kind of thing.

Download the PDF

Pre-script: If you are reading this during Lab 1 (1/19/2023), you will get a PDF that is missing most of the information on pages 2-3.

When you are ready to move your finished product from Overleaf to Gradescope, you will want to download the PDF by clicking the download icon to the right of the Recompile button. The name of the PDF will be the same as the name of the project - that is fine. Note that you can also click the "Menu" button at top left of the Overleaf screen and "PDF" is an option there. Once downloaded, move or copy the file to your Lab01Files folder on Box for that week.

Upload the PDF

  • Open a browser tab and either:
    • Go to Sakai, go to the EGR 103 page, and click on the Gradescope link, or
    • Go directly to Gradescope and log in using "School Credentials" - specifically for Duke, then go to the page for EGR 103 for this semester - that should take you to the Dashboard.
  • Find and click on the appropriate assignment
    • If you are reading this during Lab 1, that's the "Gradescope Test" assignment
    • If you are reading while preparing to turn in a completed Lab 1, that's the "Lab 01" assignment
  • Click on Upload submission. Be sure to get the appropriate file.


Submitting a New Version

If you need to submit a different version of your documents (perhaps you updated some code, or you uploaded the wrong kind of file) you can do that up until the submission deadline. The process for that is similar to uploading your PDF or your files:

  • Make sure the file you want to upload exists and is available to you on your computer.
  • To replace the PDF:
    • Start a browser, go to Gradescope either directly or through Sakai, pick the class, pick the assignments list, pick the assignment.
    • Choose the new file you would like to upload in its place.
    • Be sure to actually Resubmit the new work.
