Testing & Evaluation

Scantron answer sheets and pencils are available in the Psychology Department Main Office.  Computerized scoring of multiple-choice exams takes place at the Office of Testing and Evaluation.  They are located at 373 Educational Sciences Building, 1025 West Johnson Street, 262-5863.  In addition to exam scoring, they will conduct item analyses, handle jumbled answer sheets and alternate forms, and can upload grades directly to Canvas.  The item analysis is particularly useful in searching for “bad” items, and for improving exams in subsequent semesters. Before delivering exams to T&E, complete a cover sheet, which is illustrated in Appendix H. Note that the test results can be obtained as hard copy, emailed to you as PDF and Excel files, and/or sent directly to Canvas. Typically, it is best to request electronic files first, and then after you have examined those to call T&E to obtain the printed copies. If you want the scores sent directly to Canvas you must enter the course code which is available at your Canvas course site. T&E can also handle scrambled test booklets if you submit a scramble sheet (see Appendix I), linking the items in the various forms.
