Notes: Gradescope uses content generated from the users, typically paper-based exams and homework submitted by
students as a PDF, that makes it infeasible for Gradescope to rely upon users to provide alternative text to the PDFs or images. Please note that Gradescope is not intended for use on mobile devices by instructors.
