Uploading course materials

Course materials are an optional per-assignment upload: your typed lecture notes, course pack, or chapter handouts. They exist for one feature, course method analysis, which compares each student's solution against the techniques your course taught.

What to upload

A typed PDF of the relevant unit's notes works best. For a calculus chapter, that might be your posted Chapter 3 notes covering sections 3.1 through 3.9. InteGrade reads the document, breaks it into topic sections, and identifies the methods taught in each.

What works well

• Typed, text-based PDFs (notes you wrote and posted, slides exported to PDF).
• Materials scoped to the unit the assignment covers. Tighter scope gives sharper analysis.

What to avoid

• Scanned handwritten notes. The processing reads text, not handwriting.
• An entire textbook. More is not better; the analysis retrieves the most relevant sections per question, and a focused unit beats a 600-page dump.

Updating materials

To change the course materials for an assignment after creation, use the assignment's settings to replace the file.
