What is Easy Grader?
An easy grader is the digital version of the paper grading wheel teachers keep on their desks: line up the number of questions, read off the percentage for each number wrong. This one also returns the letter grade on the standard scale and prints a chart covering every wrong count for the test you are marking, so a whole stack of papers can be graded without a calculator. A second mode converts any points-earned out of points-possible into a percentage, for assignments that are not scored by question count.
Common Uses for Easy Grader
- Grade a stack of quizzes with a fixed number of questions
- Mark a test out of 25, 40 or 50 without mental arithmetic
- Convert a points-based assignment into a percentage
- Post a grading chart so students can check their own scores
Why the chart matters more than the single score
Marking one paper is a single division; marking thirty is where errors creep in. The chart gives you the percentage for every possible wrong count at once, so you glance once per paper instead of recalculating. Print it, or keep it open on a second screen while marking.
Scoring conventions to decide first
Decide before you start whether blank answers count as wrong, whether partial credit is possible, and whether the class is graded on a fixed percentage scale or a curve. Each of those changes the number the calculator produces, and deciding afterwards means recalculating the whole stack.
