Unrivaled Power: Viewing the Results of a Quiz
Of course, testing students is only part of the equation. An
important purpose of testing is to find out what areas of the curriculum
need focus and improvement, and which topics students should review for
future exams. On both counts, starQuiz provides all the tools you and
your students need. Read on for more information or try
a free demo today to see starQuiz in action.
Control
at your Fingertips
The "control panel" that is displayed with every
quiz provides you with basic information
and tools to manage your quiz. From the Status
pane, you can see the number of students, their average score,
the status of ungraded essays, and control the status of
the quiz. Does one more student need to take a makeup exam?
Just click Restart and have them log on to the quiz. It's
that simple.

Information
at a Glance
The most productive part of starQuiz? It's got to be
the automatic grading and statistics capability. With
one click, you can see the score for every student,
sorted from highest to lowest, as well as every question,
sorted from easiest to hardest. You can see which questions
were most often missed and which students struggled
with the latest exam. And printing a well-formatted student
summary or question
summary is as simple as clicking
"Print".
If you have dozens of students or long exams,
just start typing into the easy-to-use
typeahead search box. Students and questions will be filtered
as you type, making it easy to find the item
you're looking for.
Finally, if you want more information on
a student or question, just click the More
Info button to see a detailed report. |

Details: The Student Report
You can see everything about a student's results from
the Student Report pane. The student's exact score
is listed at the top, along with a summary of how many
questions they answered correctly. Each question is
listed, showing the student's answer and highlighting
incorrect answers in red. For even
more detail, double click a row and a dialog shows
everything about the question.
The "Change Score" feature allows you to
award partial or full credit for incorrect answers—misspellings,
alternative answers, and so on. And to type a few words
of encouragement or advice to the student about their score,
just click the "Notes" button. |

Analyze: The Question Report
If you need one demonstration of how powerful and useful
starQuiz can be, look no further than the Question
Report pane. In this section, you can choose a question
and view every single student's answer at a single
glance. Wondering why so many students missed a question?
You can see the most popular wrong answers by just
scrolling through the list.
For adjusting curriculum and correcting student
misunderstandings, there's nothing like using starQuiz
for analyzing test results. |

Visualize: Graphs and Stats
To help you visualize the results of your quiz, starQuiz
generates beautiful graphs that show the results in
simple, bar-graph form. Compare student answers on
a single question or print a graph showing the distribution
of scores. And a full range of mathematical statistics
are also available: mean, standard deviation, and median.
Take a look at some sample
graphs and sample
statistics. You can also view statistics
for a question. |

Never Type
Scores Again
One of the best time-saving features in starQuiz is
the ability to automatically transfer the scores from
a quiz to a Gradekeeper computerized
gradebook. Simple select your gradebook and type a
name for the new assignment; starQuiz will match up
the students by name, ask you to verify the export,
and add the assignment.
If you use a different computerized
gradebook, don't worry; starQuiz also includes an "Export
Scores" feature that generates a text file with the
students' scores. Just import that text file into your
gradebook—no
retyping necessary. |

Sharing
at the Push of a Button
To share the results with students, just click the
"Share" button. A secure score report is
automatically compiled and uploaded to the web for
free. Students just need to click their name and enter
their password to see their results, including a detailed
question-by-question breakdown. This option is great
for showing students their score after essay questions
are graded.
You can even automatically email all the
students a link directly to the sharing page, making notification
easy. |
