Google Forms: Self-grading Quiz

For this assignment, I created a quiz using Google Forms and learned how to apply formulas to allow it to grade itself. After creating five test questions, I selected the first empty cell to the right of the questions in row one, and inserted the formula (=IF(B3=B$2, 100,0)). Rather than having to repeat the formula for each row per student, I simply dragged it to the empty cells. This formula creates a "grade" for each cell (basically informing me if the answer is right or wrong) but it does not give me a total average. To find the average of all of the answers per student, I used the formula (=SUM(I3:M3)/5) and inserted it to the empty spaces to the right of the other formula. The formulas will make more sense after you view my spreadsheet.

I am SO happy I learned how to do this, because it will save a lot of time only having to plug in one formula as opposed to manually grading several quizzes. The only obstacle I can foresee is not having enough laptops for every student to take the quiz. However, I like being able to implement technology whenever I can, and if I can find a way to make quizzes even a little interesting for students, I'm all about it. Not to mention the time saving aspects since they would be self graded.
