Grading with the PrepSTEP App in Canvas

1. Add PrepSTEP to your Canvas course.

2. Assign tasks for your students to complete:

  • Students will access and complete tasks through Canvas.
  • Single sign-on: once students login to Canvas, there is no additional login to use PrepSTEP.
  • Only the students ID number will be stored; no other personal information.
  • If the student is not able to finish the test once they begin, they can come back at a later time and continue.
  • Students may review their answers once the test is submitted and use the options for further study recommendations

3. Student grades will appear in the usual way within Canvas.
