Correct an exam with Ans

Use this procedure once CePro has scanned the papers, imported them into Ans and notified you that the exam is ready for correction.

Before you start​

Confirm that the expected student copies are present in Ans and that the required reviewers have access.

Reviewers​

If additional reviewers need access, send CePro the list of their EPFL email addresses so the required reviewer accounts/permissions can be activated.

During correction​

Ans supports flags for answers that require a decision from the teacher or lead reviewer. Reviewers can flag uncertain answers and the teacher can resolve them later.

Annotations and comments entered during correction can be visible to students during an online consultation, depending on the consultation configuration.

Multiple-choice questions​

warning

For Ans exams containing MCQs, especially questions with several correct answers, manually check the detected marks.

PDFs and correction data​

Ans distinguishes between:

  • the scanned student copy, without correction annotations;
  • a PDF exported for an individual student with Ans annotations.

Bulk export of the original scanned student PDFs is available. Annotated export is performed per student rather than as one bulk annotated-PDF export.

When correction is complete​

Next steps​

When all questions have been reviewed and grading is complete:

  1. Export and verify the results.
  2. Review exam statistics if useful.
  3. Prepare an online consultation if required.
  4. Follow the archiving workflow.
