Response to U of Guelphs query.


The UofM uses an NCS OpScan21 for exam scoring and course evaluations. The
data collected is uploaded to the mainframe where our in-house system does the
actual scoring and analysis. The main features of this system are:

1. Exam results are provided either in report form or on disk for further
evalution by the professors.

2. An exam can have questions with a maximum of 5 or 10 choices each with up
to 960 questions per student.

3. Each exam can be divided into 9 sections for the purpose are applying
scoring factors (e.g. right minus wrong or weighting questions).

4. The report provides the following information for each student: number of
questions attempted, number of questions answered correctly, the student's
score,  percentage of questions answered correctly, and percentage score using
the scoring factors.

5. The other reports provided are: a frequency distribution chart and bar
graph for scores, percentage scores, and percentage correct and a exam summary
report which provides a breakdown on how each question was answered as well as
the standard deviations and means for the scores, number of questions
attempted, and the percentage correct.
