Jim Davies will send you versions of the exam to proofread. Check for errors, confusing questions, and make sure the questions are numbered correctly.
When the scantron sheets come in, bring them and the answer key to the EDC on the 4th floor and turn them in.
When they are scanned, you'll get an email from the EDC.
Open the email and look at the "problem IDs" and try to resolve them, manually entering grades where needed on cuLearn.
If the mean is about 66% that's good for a first year multiple choice exam. If it's much lower or higher, talk to Jim.
Items which have proportion correct values lower than 30% are items which should be considered
for possible deletion.
However, in making this decision the discrimination value for the item should also be
taken into account.
Also look at the analysis of the questions and look for ones with a low discrimination index.
Look for questions that have a ? next to them. They might simply be miskeyed. Email the scanning person at EDC to have the key changed and the grades updated (ideally before the grades are made visible by students.) This can be done without rescanning.
As the disabled (PMC) students' exams and deferred exams come in, you will need to get them scanned too. After each upload of grades, the EDC hides the grades. Please make them visible on cuLearn as soon as you can (after bad questions are dealt with).
Students who have trouble with grades might email Jim or you. Jim will forward these emails to you to handle.
