[Using Sakai] paper exams

Tue Oct 9 14:54:40 PDT 2012

You could probably use the category feature of the grade book. 

Setup your grade book to allow for categories then you could set a category as an 'assignment' and each of the grade book items in the category can be the 'questions'. Then you could just import all of the answer values via CSV, or manual entry. In this way you wouldn't need to use the assignments or tests/quizzes tool. You'd have to check what the UX was like for students when they went to get their results though.

cheers,
Steve

There wouldn't be any structure to it other than what the instructor came up with. You'd have to copy/paste the general comment with the description for every student then add in your additional details. It looks like you can even import comments from the Excel/CSV file.
