1.) I used Performance Matters for my final exam last year, but wanted a refresher before administering my final in a few weeks. I created a short quiz (one multiple choice and one extended response) for me to revisit the program and to give my students an opportunity to explore the tools, etc. First class flies through the multiple choice but then hands go up for the extended response. It's a Pythagorean Theorem question and what I hoped was a draw box for them to show their work was only just a text box. Not good. Went in, duplicated the test, swapped the response types and tried to assign the new quiz. Couldn't get the student roster to populate. After a few tries I finally remembered the special message about "same day administration" and clicked on the appropriate boxes. All good! I really like this program but there are little things here and there that you really need to know to get everything off the ground!
2.) Grading came right back from last June. I really like the "grade by question" and drop down menus. I'm excited to take a closer look at the final exam data. The colors and options are user friendly and offer lots of potential for the teacher.
