Ayres, K. L. and Underwood, F. M. (2010) Electronic marking of statistics assessments for bioscience students. Bioscience Education, 15. c4. ISSN 1479-7860 doi: 10.3108/beej.15.c4

Abstract/Summary

We describe the main features of a program written to perform electronic marking of quantitative or simple text questions. One of the main benefits is that it can check answers for being consistent with earlier errors, so can cope with a range of numerical questions. We summarise our experience of using it in a statistics course taught to 200 bioscience students.
