1 Information Technology Services will be updating the mark sense test scoring hardware and software on Monday, May 18, We will continue to score all Spring term exams utilizing the current hardware and software. This upgrade must be done to bring both the hardware and software up to current technology standards. The upgrade can not be delayed beyond May 18th. What has changed? New reports have different names, look slightly different with all information showing on different reports. The following 13 slides are examples of the current and new version of each report. Test scoring procedures (turning in of exams, scanning of exams, sending of results, and pick-up procedures remain unchanged). The only change is that the reports look different (feedback thus far is very favorable). Questions Contact the I.T.S. Help Desk at or

3 New Report # 1 Differences: Information is presented in a different order Report doesn t list number of tests graded (information found on New Report # 7) Calculations for Standard Deviation, Variance, Confidence Intervals, Kudor- Richardson Formula 20, and the Coefficient (Cronbach) Alpha are slightly different - new software expands on the number of decimal places used.

4 Current Report # 2

5 New Report # 2 Added Features: Total column also shows number of questions on exam (still includes number of the correct answers by the student) Percent column shows a bar scale of student percentile Mean value of correctly answered questions with percentage This is where the names of the Students whose exams were scanned and graded can be found

10 Current Report # 5 Note: The data for the remaining questions was not included in this presentation but an entire report would reflect information appropriate for every question graded

11 New Report # 5 Added Features: Data for each question is laid out better for readability Point Biserial calculation for each question
