Grading Using Google Forms

Profhacker did it again. It helped make my teaching life better. This semester I began grading using Google Forms and I am in love. I teach online and even when I teach a traditional face-to-face class I teach paperless. For years I would create a scoring guide in a Word document and bounce back and forth between the two documents highlighting and adding comments to both. Sometimes I would copy and paste the scoring guide at the end of the paper. Sometimes I would have the student copy and paste the scoring guide at the end of the paper and complete a self-evaluation to which I would add my evaluation. It was a cumbersome process that is now all in the past. Read the full “Grading Using Google Forms” post on my Metawriting blog at: http://metawriting.deannamascle.com/
