| Jan 23, 2013 at 0:34 | comment | added | Zenon | @drN Yeah I was thinking about the 'scantron' (is that really how it is called?). Also, about the 'learning', I do completely agree with you that the cheaters are the biggest losers. Sadly our system doesn't work like that and grades is mostly the only metric used until you get to grad school/job. And having a mix of Multiple choices with single value answers could be a simple way to get most of it done by a computer and yourself taking not too much time to correct the rest. I will add it to my answer if you don't mind. | |

| Jan 23, 2013 at 0:29 | comment | added | Zenon | @drN are your question multiple choices? Most places have facilities to correct those automatically. | |
| Jan 22, 2013 at 23:56 | comment | added | dearN | Not to mention, It is easier to use canvas for quizzes than grade 80 papers with varying scribbles on them. | |
| Jan 22, 2013 at 23:46 | comment | added | dearN | good point. However, doing the quiz online provides some advantages: 1) The quiz grades itself and the imposed time limit ON THE QUIZ works. 2) This provides me with metrics that I cannot very easily collect as to what portions is a certain person faltering in vs the rest of the class. As to the students talking between themselves, that actually gives some perspective to my dilemma: who is the biggest loser? The one who cheats. The quicker they understand it, the better.. I suppose? Thank you for your answer. But I would really like an opinion on how better to do this. | |
