Automatic Grading and Releasing Grades to Canvas
Link to full article from Monash University: Automatic grading in Perusall
Perusall is all about meaningful engagement. Perusall uses AI to automatically grade student annotations, evaluated on the basis of quality, timeliness, quantity, and distribution. Even though the top score is 2, Perusall can award a score of 3 which is a bonus point that indicates that the student’s comment or question was exceptional. A zero means that the student's comment was deemed by Perusall to demonstrate no real substance or thoughtful reading. For more information, see Annotating in Perusall scoring examples.
Quality | 2 = Demonstrates thorough and thoughtful reading AND insightful interpretation of the reading |
|---|---|
Quantity | Overall score is calculated using the highest-quality annotations (threshold amount set by the instructor) for each assignment. |
Timeliness | Completing the reading and posting annotations before the posted deadline is required to receive credit. You may choose to allow a grace period during which the credit for student annotations linearly decreases from 100% at the deadline to 0% at the end of the grace period. |
Distribution | Annotating only part of the text and/or failing to distribute your annotations throughout the document lowers the overall score. |
Overall Evaluation | An overall evaluation for each reading assignment based on the criteria above as follows: 3 = Exceptional (rarely given) |
Note: As an instructor you can override the score in Perusall. When you override a score, you are indicating to Perusall that you deem that type of comment or question to either be worth more or less than was automatically scored. This will help modify the algorithm to better meet your requirements. You can manually override student scores from the Gradebook page by clicking on the pencil icon.

Grades recorded in the Perusall activity will be automatically synced to Canvas Gradebook once they have been released to students. Changes made to the Perusall activity will also be reflected in Canvas gradebook, for example changes to the lateness penalty. It may take up to an hour for a grade update to be reflected in the Gradebook.
