<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I am teaching a project-based course that uses self and peer evaluations as part of the grade for each group assignment. I would like to create a quiz or survey in LON-CAPA to automate this process, at least
as much as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">When a group turns in an assignment, each team member is required to fill out a form rating him/herself and each of his/her other group members. The combination of these ratings is part of the grade calculation
for each student.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The data might look like the following for a group of 3:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> How Student 1 How Student 2 How Student 3 Combined Ratings<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> Rated Self & Others Rated Self & Others Rated Self & Others<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Evals of Student 1 1 1 1 1<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Evals of Student 2 1 1 1 1<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Evals of Student 3 0.5 0 1 0.5<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The first three columns are the ratings given by each student. The last column is calculated (manually by me right now) to create a cumulative rating used in the calculation of each student’s grade.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I would like to create a quiz/survey in LON-CAPA to capture each student’s ratings. Ideally, I would also like LON-CAPA to calculate the combined ratings so I could just download a column of numbers to plug
into my grading spreadsheet. I don’t know if the latter is even possible since it would require accessing multiple students’ quizzes to do each calculation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The only way I can think of to do the quiz/survey is to use a <customresponse> and return the rating of each student as the ASSIGNED_SCORE value. I could download the grades in Scores Per Problem format and
plug them into a worksheet in my grading spreadsheet, where it could do the combined rating calculations. That worksheet in the spreadsheet, however, would get pretty large since one column would be needed per student per assignment (plus one column for the
combined ratings).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If LON-CAPA could also do the combined ratings calculations, that would be even better, but would required pulling data from multiple quizzes for each student’s combined rating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Is there a provision/capability in LON-CAPA that can do this task more easily? Has anyone done something like this in LON-CAPA before, and maybe knows a better way to do it than what I am thinking?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Any advice/feedback would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
