Exit Ticket Scoring Guidelines
To ensure consistent and accurate data, please follow the guidelines below when scoring Exit Tickets.
Overview
All questions will be scored on a percent scale (0%–100%) so districts can choose how to use and ingest scores into their existing grading systems. Please score responses based on the accuracy of responses (correct vs. incorrect) as opposed to partial credit for participation. Exit Tickets are intended to measure a student's current understanding of a concept and need to be scored accordingly.
Scoring Guidelines by Question Type
Multiple Choice:
NOTE: Multiple choice questions have the option to select the correct answer when creating your question. This will auto-grade the question for you and is highly recommended.
If you do not select a correct answer when creating your question, please follow the guidelines below when scoring.
- If the student gets the answer correct (selects 'A' when the answer is 'A'), score the Exit Ticket "100%".
- If the student gets the answer incorrect (selects 'B' when the answer is 'A'), score the Exit Ticket "0%".
- Exit Tickets are meant to reflect a student's current understanding, so we recommend not offering partial credit for participation, or for guessing the next 'closest' answer. Please score all incorrect answers as "0%".
Checkboxes:
NOTE: Checkbox questions have the option to select the correct answer(s) when creating your question. This will auto-grade the question for you and is highly recommended. To calculate how much each answer is worth, the system takes the total percentage assigned to the question and divides it by the total number of answer choices. For example, if a question is worth 100 percent and has 4 answer choices, each choice is 25%.
- Please see the example below.
- There are 4 options: 'A' & 'B' are correct and 'C' and 'D' are incorrect.
- If the student's answers are completely correct (selected 'A' and 'B'), the system will score the Exit Ticket '100%' (they made 4 correct selections).
- If the student's answers are partially correct (selected 'A' only), the system will score the Exit Ticket '75%' (they made 3 of 4 correct selections).
- If the student's answers are partially correct (selected 'A' & 'C'), the system scores the Exit Ticket '50%' (they made 2 of 4 correct selections).
- If the student's answers are completely incorrect (selected 'C' & 'D'), the system scores the Exit Ticket '0%' (they made 0 of 4 correct selections).
- Exit Tickets are meant to reflect a student's current understanding, offering partial credit on matched answers. (They are awarded credit for selecting correct choices and for avoiding incorrect choices.)
Written:
- If the student gets the answer correct (writes 'apple' and the answer is 'apple'), score the Exit Ticket '100%'.
- If the student has the correct answer spelled incorrectly (writes 'apple' when the answer is 'apple'), score the Exit Ticket '100%', except if the exit ticket is given to specifically assess spelling ability (in this case, score the Exit Ticket '0%').
- If the student gets the answer incorrect (writes 'orange' when the answer is 'apple'), score the Exit Ticket '0%'.
File Upload:
- File upload scoring will depend on the type of assignment delivered. Again, the score for correct responses and not for participation accurately captures student understanding.
How to View/Grade an Answered Exit Ticket
Once the student has completed the Exit Ticket, you may edit the grade and add comments in the Manage Sessions Tab for the class.
- Click on the "Sessions" tab.
- Use the filters to find your session.
Click on the Session ID
- Here, you can view the score, edit the score, add a comment, and view the student's answer.
You can slide the tables to view more column data.
- To expand the student's answer, click the diagonal arrows next to their answer within the Answer column.
- To score the student's answer and add a comment, click the cells next to the student's name within the Score and Comments column, and type in the score and comment.
- Click somewhere else on the page, and your score and comments will be recorded!
- To edit the score or answer, click the pencil icon, click onto the cell, and type the new score or answer, then click somewhere else on the page.
- Multiple Choice and Check Boxes will score automatically. Written or File Upload responses will need to be graded manually after the student submits the response.
Student will only be able to edit their written answer if you haven't scored their answer yet.
- An exit ticket should remain blank if a student does not complete the exit ticket. A zero should not be entered for incomplete/unanswered exit tickets. Students should be scored based on work completed, not penalized for what they have not done.
Student Scores Overview
Navigate to the student's profile, and click the "Scores" tab for an overview of all their sessions, scores, and more!
- Any session without a score means either the student has not answered it, or you have not posted an exit ticket yet.
- A ✔ mark within the Async tab means the student has viewed the mini-lesson for that session.
