A Method for Scoring Short-Answer Questions on Google Forms (in Large Classes)

The main takeaway from this workshop will be the know-how of making and scoring exercises which utilize the short answer type of question on Google Forms. Unlike simple multiple-choice questions which are straightforward, scoring short answer questions can be highly problematic. The presenters will demonstrate a technique for approaching this issue in a systematic way which saves time and results in a more objective assessment. This method works for classes of any size and with any content, but as a case study, we will look at how it can be implemented in a test preparation class with over 40 students.
