Techie strikes again
Today you take your 9-weeks test online. Besides complaining about your score, tell me your thoughts on the process. I want real comments about the ease or difficulty of the software, features, setup, etc. Try not to complain about the questions or the score here. Reflect on the process.

I like taking tests this way. First, we don't have to wait forever for our grades, and it is less monotonous than paper tests.
I like the process, because we got our grades back immediatley. It was very nice knowing what you got as soon as you had finished.
I though it was an easy process all together. Except,my computer froze in the middle of taking it. It seems a lot faster using the computer. I get sick of using scantron.
Ha, techie does strike again...thats funny. You just said, "We had a few technical glitches, but not too many." I guess that sums it up. I was a little paranoid about something going on, but I like the automatic feedback, the easiness of it, and the effieciency.
I think it was a good idea, but it didn't go quite as well as planned. I personally did not have the most enjoyable experience because my computer froze. The problems were with the PDF files, so maybe that can be fixed. It was also annoying that since I took mine on paper after getting locked out that I did not get to see my grade like everyone else did. Oh well, not a big deal! Overall it was a good idea and it just needs to have some gliches worked out.
I liked the test online. I liked the whole thing that you can get your score right when your done with the test so you dont have to wait and worry about what you got. I also like the whole computer feel, like not taking it on paper, because for some reason that just throws me off.
I like taking tests like this, but the exam was impossible. Some questions were easy, and a lot were hard.
I like taking the test this way, but i think that the questions could have been a little easier. To much application instead of some regurgitation.
I didnt like taking the test on the computer because i got throuh 30 of the questions and then it froze and i had to start over. I also thought it was extremely too difficult.
I felt that the testing online was very efficient, plus it is convenient for both you and the students with the grading process.
I appreciate all opinions. Of course, it would be better if the opinions were not attacking a person. Elliot, when you are mature enough to post without sounding rude, you should come back and have a real original thought.
I thought that it was really easy and user-friendly. I got my score back immediately and got to check my email after that. I wish all your exams were like this.
I like taking test on paper better just because i hate technology, and it scares me that i might erase my test by pressing something wrong. i did like the fact that i found out my score right away. it also makes the test seem less stressful.
I prefer we take more tests in this way because it's an easier format. Plus, it makes test taking quicker, and you can find out about your grade the same day you take it. Some people may not like that, but I think of that as an advantage. I hope we continue to take tests in this fashion.
