Auto Grading
For objective questions, like multiple choice questions, the online examination system will do the grading work automatically according to the answers set.
For multiple-choice questions with more than one answer, proportional score can be set by the administrator so when the candidates miss choosing all the right answers, the system will give score proportionally.
For essay questions, grading by keywords can be set by administrators. Therefore, the system will do the grading work according to the keywords.
Manual Grading
Questions, like essay questions can also be graded manually. The administrators can do the grading work by themselves. Or they can also set sub-administrators to do the marking work for each essay question, which would reduce the burden on administrators.
Administrators can click [exam details]-[view records] to do the marking work. By clicking [grade exam], administrators will enter the grading page to grade papers. How many scores the candidates get for each question can be selected and administrators can click [continue next] to grade next paper.
