Form Return
- update and next steps
Update
When FormReturn was implemented in the Fall of 2013, it was
initially used in a pilot project to mark a few exams. In December 2013, it was
used to mark final and equivalency exams.
Since then, the number of answer sheets created has increased to 83 and
939 exams have been processed to date.

Table 2. A detailed exam and item analysis report will
be created for all exams having reached the target number of exams processed of
40 or more. (100 exams or more is
ideal.)
Next steps
We will continue to create answer sheets and collect data
for all official exams, especially math and science. As the number of answer sheets increases, the
amount of data collected continues to increase.
One purpose of FormReturn is to mark multiple choice and
numerical response questions, but it also allows us to provide useful information
to teachers.
Currently, we are providing teachers with immediate feedback
on the exams in the form of simple student reports, and graphical
representations of student marks and responses. (Figure 1) Once the number of exams processed reaches 40 or greater
(see Table 2), we will also provide an
exam and item analysis report.
These cumulative reports and any aggregate exam data collected
will be made available to teachers on Google drive.
