The student answer forms need to be converted to an appropriate input for the grading program. These are either the mark-sense-forms or the cover sheets with answer forms printed on them. The forms should be gathered up, all facing the same direction and oriented with up in the same direction. Then the procedures differ.
Using Mark Sense Forms
If you used the commercial mark-sense-forms, you will begin by
using the mark-sense-form reader in room 383 and the
gread program. Following the
instructions in Using GREAD and the
detailed instructions linked to there, you will
produce a myexam.ms file.
Then you will need to fix problems (students often misenter their
names and sometimes their IDs), and also add the grading instructions
in the keyfile produced by grtex,
by running the grfix
program. This will produce the myexam.ok file.
Using the Cover Sheet for Answers
If you have prepared your exam to put the answer forms on the cover sheet,
as detailed here, you used a answer form
such as mc37.ps which came along with
a data file mc37.dat. You then use
this scanning procedure on the cover sheets,
which will produce the myexam.ok file.
