Grading quizzes

Finished quizzes can be graded based on the *_manifest.json-file produced during quiz generation.

Assuming a mcqpy project with a structure like so (as produced by mcqpy init)

./<quiz_project_name>
├── config.yaml
├── output/
├── questions/
└── submissions/

Running the command 

mcqpy grade

Will grade the submissions in the submissions/-directory and produce a .xlsx or (.csv if the -f csv option is provided) containing the grades of the students.

Testing

mcqpy offers a utility tool to test grading without waiting for or manually creating submissions. 

mcqpy utils autofill -n 100

Will produce 100 randomly filled quizzes that can then be graded as above: 

mcqpy grade

Question level statistics

In addition to the tabular output mcqpy can also produce a more detailed report of the submisisons

mcqpy grade -a

Which in addition to the .xlsx or .csv files also produces analysis/quiz_analysis.pdf which contains answer distribution for each question.

Rubrics

mcqpy currently only supports a single rubric for grading

  • StrictRubric: Points are only awarded for fully correct answers, both for single choice and multiple choice questions.

This will likely be improved in the future.
