Flubaroo for Autograding


Autograding?! Can it be? Yes, it can!



(Screencast created for staff at my site.)

Create a Google form as an assessment or assignment. Go to the live form and enter the correct answers yourself. I put Answer Key in the name section to help me identify this set of answers.


Go to Responses. Create a Spreadsheet.

You can see the answers I already entered in the image above.
Now go to Add-Ons and Get Add-ons. Search for and add Flubaroo.


Enable Flubaroo as below.

Then go back and click on it again to start the Flubaroo. Go to advanced to enable autograde.

It will take you through several steps to choose how to grade each part. You can skip grading some pieces. If you need to hand grade an item, you can still use Flubaroo, but can’t autograde.

Choose your Answer Key row with the correct answers from when you took the quiz first.

Decide on whether or not you want the answer key sent with the scores.

And that’s it. All submissions will be graded and scores will be collected in the spreadsheet and students will get results in their email.


Answers will be collected on the first sheet.

Grades will be created on the second sheet with some highlighting for error analysis.

Time saved on the things that can be assessed easily so you have more time to teach.
