Step 3: Managing Scans


Download & print the Bubble Sheet Template prior to the test. Students should legibly write their name and e-mail address on their answer sheet. E-mail can be helpful to you if you have students with the same names as you will need to match up the answer sheet with your Brightspace roster after you upload the students' bubble sheets.

Once students have completed the test and handed all bubble sheets back to you, your next step is to scan the bubble sheets into one PDF file. You can scan these documents with your department printer/scanner or you can use the scanner located near the "Ask Us" desk in E.H.Butler Library.
