  • Hybrid grading: a unique approach that combines the efficiency of computerized grading with the opportunity for personalized instructor feedback to students.
  • Automatic grading of multiple-choice, multiple-correct, true-false, and even fill-in questions. Instructors can review and revise Quia's grading decisions, give feedback to students, and individually grade subjective questions.
  • An easy-to-use interface allows the instructor to customize the online books, incorporating supplemental material directly into the book's activities.
  • Ability to import grades into Microsoft Excel, WebCT, or other grade book software if desired.
    A versatile online grade book allows instructors to view class statistics in a variety of ways. You can access a wealth of data about student performance and create a variety of reports to make in-class reviews more productive. For a particular exercise, you can generate a report showing, question by question, the names of students who answered correctly, the names of students who answered incorrectly, and what those incorrect answers were. Or, you can print a report showing the most commonly missed questions, what percentage of the class missed them, and what the most common mistakes were.

  • Instant feedback on many activities-no more waiting for assignments to be handed back.
