MSU Scoring & Assessment Services offers an online assessment solution through DigitalDesk WebAssess, as well as StudentPortal, the student gateway to assessment scores and results. This online solution provides in-class, remote, proctored, and testing center assessment options, standard and custom reports, management of supplemental materials and test aids, and more.
In addition to secure online testing through DigitalDesk WebAssess, MSU Scoring & Assessment Services provides bubble sheet scanning for objective tests, general data collection, the Student Instructional Rating System (SIRS), and other MSU instructional evaluations/surveys. Both online and bubble sheet testing includes a full complement of reports: item analysis, test statistics, student feedback, and grade keeping (see examples of DigitalDesk Reports).
Students can take exams on WebAssess or in the classroom on bubble sheets with combined reporting. Make-up tests can be added to the same exam at any time, either from WebAssess or bubble sheets. The MSU Scoring & Assessment Services image scanners create an image of the bubble sheet so essay questions and other types of questions can be graded online by the instructor. These types of questions can also be pre-graded by the instructor entering scores into the score boxes included on the bubble sheets.
MSU funds MSU Scoring & Assessment Services for all MSU courses. There is no cost for departments or students. For non-instructional assessments, see Non-Instructional Pricing.
