Review scores for online quizzes

After your students take online quizzes in the Student portal, you can use your gradebook to review the scores they earn.

To review scores for online quizzes:

  1. Log on to the Staff view.
  2. Click the Gradebook tab.
  3. Select the section you want to view the scores for, and click the Scores side-tab.
  4. Find the grade column for the online quiz assignment. Do one of the following:
    • If any questions are multiple choice-type and you defined the correct answer, Aspen can calculate the scores for students who have finished (based on the Points values you defined for each question). The score appears.
    • Click the Online Quiz icon to open the quiz and review student scores.
    • If Aspen cannot score the quiz (the questions are short answer or free text), click the Online Quiz icon to open the quiz, and enter scores.

  5. A summary of the students’ performance by question appears.

  6. For each question, the summary includes the following columns of information:
    • Time: The average time students take to complete each question.
    • Responded: The number of students who have responded.
    • Correct: The percentage of students who responded and got the correct answer.
  1. For any MC (multiple choice) or SA (short answer) type questions for which you define an answer, Aspen calculates the value in each column.

  2. Otherwise, for OR (open response) type questions, click on a question to correct it for your students. The summary page for that question appears.

    Note: You might want to review student answers for SA (short answer) type questions. Aspen scores those answers exactly as you define. For example, if the answer is "Bangladesh", and the student types "Banglidesh", the answer is incorrect. Aspen does not score spaces, punctuation, or capitalization.
  1. For each student, the Response column lists their response. The Time column lists the amount of time it took the student to select or enter an answer. Type or edit the score in the Score column.
  2. Click Go to Next Record icon. to move to the next question, or Close to close the window.
  3. On the quiz summary page, click Update Gradebook to enter the scores into the gradebook column for the quiz.

Aspen calculates each student's score for the quiz.
