- Select [NAV] on the Remote Control or Main Menu. This will take
you to the "Navigate Course Contents" page.
- Select the first problem of your exam set.
- Select [PGRD] from the Remote Control or Main Menu. This will take
you to the "Manual Grading/View Submission Screen".
- Click the "[Grade] bubblesheet exams, upload/download bubblesheet data" link. This will take
you to the next "Grading" screen where you will fill out the
top section - depending on if you use coded or named exams.
- In the "Sequence to Grade" section, the system will automatically
select the sequence you are in. If you should be in another sequence,
you can choose this sequence from the drop down menu.
- In the "Filename of Scoring Office" file section, the scoring
office generally uploads the filename. You also have the option to
specify a bubblesheet data file to upload by browsing for the data file
and clicking the [Upload Bubblesheet Data] button.
- In the "Format of Data" file section, use MSU with CODE in separate
location for coded exams and MSU without any CODE for named exams.
- In the "Saved CODES to Validate Against" section, leave blank
unless you saved the CODEs file earlier.
- In the "Each CODE is Only To Be Used Once" section, choose "no"
if you don't use separately coded exams for each student. Example:
You use 10 variations for a class of 200. If you do use separately
coded exams, the the default "Yes."
- In the "Options" section, check the "Do only previously
skipped records" option - only if you wish to go through skipped
records. If you select this option, you have to complete all of the
skipped records. The file will erase if you exit without completing.
- Cleck the [Validate Bubblesheet Records] button. This will take you
to the next grading page where you need to double-check your information.
- If the information in incorrect, click the [Grading Menu] button.
This will take you back to the "Manual Grading/View Submission"
screen.
- If the information is correct, click the [Validate Records] button.
- You will then be shown errors that need to be compared to the bubblesheets.
[NOTE:] The errors are [double bubble], [missing bubble], [incorrect
id], [incorrect name], or [incorrect code]. You will need the
bubblesheets for [double bubble] or [missing bubble]
errors.
- You have the option to skip an error or to continue. If you choose
to fix the error, click "Continue." If you choose to skip the
error, the information about your student will save to a "skipped
records" file for later grading. If you continue, you will have
several options.
- LON-CAPA will help you fix the error by providing the Bubblesheet paper
sequence number of the student so you can compare it to the corresponding
Bubblesheet. Many students who forget to bubble in their name or
ID usually write this information on the Bubblesheet.
- In the cases of incorrect student/employee ID, misspelled name, and incorrect
code with specified code file, LON-CAPA will provide you with the
closest matches to choose from. In the case of a missing code or incorrect
code with no code file, you will need to track down which code the
student used.
- After you correct the errors, click the [Start Grading] button.
This will take you to the next screen where you will see how much
time remains in the Bubblesheet grading process.
- Once this process is completed, select [CHRT] from the Remoted Control
or Main Menu. This will take you to the "Course Statistics and
Charts" screen.
- Select your exam name, HTML with links and Score summary to view the
exam results.
