• Change the point value.
• Change the explanation.

To make these changes, click the links beneath the question.

Comments to Instructor

Every Graded Test has an optional “Comments to Instructor” box where students can give their instructors feedback about the test. As noted above, this feedback is also viewable on the Individual Student screen, but the “Comments to Instructor” screen gathers the comments together so they can be quickly found. Additionally, faculty may send a response email to the student by clicking the envelope icon, or they can view the student’s full test responses by clicking on the student’s NetID:

Question Analysis

Provides statistical feedback, includes information such as:

• "Item Difficulty", refers to the percentage of students answering correctly, therefore, the smaller the percentage, the more difficult the item.
• "Item Discrimination", refers to the item's discriminating power between how well students did on this item compared with their total exam score. With a range from -1.00 to 1.00, the higher the value, the more discriminating the item. The ideal value is 1.00; acceptable range is 0.20 or higher; values near or less then zero should be removed from the exam.
• The effectiveness of each alternative. A "Good Distracter" will attract more students from the lower group (those who scored poorly on the exam), than from the upper group. While a "Bad Distracter" attracts more students from the upper group. An "Ineffective Distractor" attracts nobody.
