Score and grade assignments in Perusall
You can set up custom links for each Perusall assignment that permit the import of grades from Perusall to myCourses.
Students must access their Perusall assignments from these specific links. If they access Perusall from general links, then grades may not pass back correctly. If you intend to use grade synchronization between these platforms, it’s recommended that you remove any Perusall links from your course that do not link to a specific assignment.
