Has anyone seen an implementation of scanning and machine evaluating multiple choice exams that is not terrible for students?

Things I don't like:

  • requiring separate answer sheet (error-prone)
  • unstapling multiple page exams for scanner
  • exam not physically corrected, harder for students to review their exam afterwards

Asking for a friend...

@Daniel_Hoffmann @academicchatter I'm using it too (and it works very well) but it appears to support scanning of exams only for a very restricted form of separate answer sheet and exam.

Question for my fellow academics:

How many concurrent projects is a comfortable number for you (i.e., allows you to work without feeling rushed)?

And what is the optimal number of meetings a day (i.e., that allows you to move things along, but also leaves you enough time for other things)?

@JoranJongerling @academicchatter I tend to have a lot of projects going on in the background, waiting for something, so if I include those, it would be 10-15. Just "active projects" would be more like 2-3. Since I supervise some stuff, 2 - 3 short meetings or 1 - 2 big meetings a day are completely fine by me.

@JoranJongerling @academicchatter I just hope it doesn't happen :-D Also most of those inactive projects tend to be small (stat help for clinical investigators) and few are highly time sensitive, so it is usually easy to prioritize if there are conflicts.

I currently co-teach one class each year in two language mutations for ~250 students total + some practicals. The class was new last year, so still modifying and building up materials and infrastructure, and it is a huge time sink.
