grad
--- Grading the exam
Once you have a file exam1.ok
from
grfix
, or some other method of combining
the key file and the mark-sense-form (repaired) output, you are ready to
run grad
.
Grad will prompt you for input:
Mark sense file?* exam1.ok List file?* exam1.lis(of course you can use some base name other than exam1, such as 203f07h1)
The list file exam1.lis
contains a log
of the input specifications, the student performances, an "ITEM ANALYSIS"
of the group's performance on each question, and a histogram and statistics
of the results.
In addition to the list file, grad
asks if
you want to produce four other files,
exam1.she
, which can be uploaded into
the gradebook
so the students can
see how they did on each question, as well as their overall score.
exam1.sco
, which can be uploaded into
the gradebook
as the student's grades.
gradebook
.
You will have to give names for the files you requested:
FileName OF FILE FOR SCORES:
exam1.sco
This is the file for uploading grades
FileName OF FILE FOR SHEETS:
exam1.she
This is the report file to let each student see what
(s)he did.
If you have more than 36 questions, answer yes when asked "Are mark sense forms in Wide Format?".
If you want to print the list file, you need to do so in some way that
does landscape with 132 character lines. One way is
enscript -fCourier9 -r exam1.lis
Another is the old lnd
command, which
is now called lprland
. Type
lprland exam1.lis
.
You should check over your
.lis
file. See if students would have done
significantly better on a different master. Check question performance
to look for anomolies.
Perhaps there should be more on this page. There is much old documentation,
