This is a single-page guide to all the

Crowdmark is an online grading platform free for UWaterloo students and
instructors. It has two types of assessment submission methods:

students submit their work (PDF or image files) directly to Crowdmark.

scanned paper documents (e.g. student homework/quiz/test/exam papers) to
Crowdmark.
