I teach High School and am looking for a way to give tests that will grade
automatically. I created a web page that I use to give assignments and
communicate with my classes. I am currently hyperlink Excel spreadsheets
with locked (protected) cells that use nested functions for my students to
take tests and to dermine the scores. The save it on the network and I open
each one to grade. The problem is I have to open each file and unpretect it
to see the score. There's got to be a better way. Any ideas?
 
If you have any programming skills take a look at using a Database and server side scripting such as ASP/PHP or ASP.NET (steeper
learning curve)

Please tell me you don't teach English. Normally, I would not have
mentioned this because I feel to do so is bad manners. I feel more
strongly that a student's perception of a teacher's knowledge is
important; especially a professor.

I apologize for my manners but consider using the spell check function
when compiling your assignments and tests.
 
Andy thanks for the input. I have a habit of multitasking and keying text
when my classes are in session. I am a stickler about my work and also
cringe when errors pop up in someone else's text. And no, I teach computer
applications/life skills. I also write a gardening column for the newspaper
- 800 to 1000 words every two weeks. Thanks again.

Consider yourself lucky that Professor Buff is indeed from an
English-speaking country, and a good sport!

In the realm of criticism, let me just point out that if a criticism is not
necessary or relevant to a discussion, it is simply rude. One must question
the motive of the criticizer.

Please don't take MY criticism as rudeness. This is a public forum, and
Netiquette is certainly relevant, while grammar is not, unless it impedes
the understanding of the reader.

Kevin, thank you for your kind remarks upon my behalf. It’s all a matter of
civility. Some of us have it and some don’t.
