Formative Quizzes

If you are giving an assessment that can be administered using Google forms (multiple choice, T/F, simple fill in the blank), I recommend using Flubaroo, a free tool that not only automatically scores student responses, but also:
- Computes average assignment score
- Computes average score per question, and flags low-scoring questions
- Shows you a grade distribution graph
- Gives you the option to email each student their score, and an answer key
- Lets you send individualized feedback to each student
This is a great way to get quick and dirty data on what students know in relation to specific learning targets in a timely manner. The Flubaroo user guide has clear, step by step instructions for how to set this up, and I am happy to provide support, as well.
Written Assessments
When providing students with feedback on written assignments, you may find yourself writing the same types of comments repeatedly. While this is good information for you, in that it identifies a skill that many students still need to work on, it can be exhausting to write or type the same thing over and over. If your students submit their work using Google Docs, you can create shortcuts, which allow you to type in a simple abbreviation that will then automatically convert to the full length comment. For specific instructions on how to set this up, check out this post from SmartBlog on Education.
