The GradePlus unit is simple to use and accurate. What the student puts into the unit is what is transmitted into the instructor's computer. With an easy press of a button the answer/choice is made. Students may skip questions and easily go back later to fill them in or change an answer. Once confident of their selection, one button will transfer the data via a wireless infrared signal into the instructor's computer. The test will be recorded, verified, graded, and the results returned to the student in less than two seconds.
Imagine the time saved because now all the grades are logged into a class gradebook and the quarter, semester, or year's grades are all compiled for an easy account of each student, whenever you need it.
Other functions that can be utilized by the GradePlus System are the attendance option, homework records, pop quizzes, in class surveys, and class critiques.
GradePlus System' benefits:
- Each unit is linked to only one student - Can be used in any class.
- Eliminates theft - original owner is easy to identify.
- Recessed, unidirectional viewing screen prevents roving eyes.
- Punching a button for your answer is easier than filling in a tiny bubble.
- No more forms to process, or hand-graded if 'eaten' by those expensive machines.
- Unanswered questions are easy to identify, and get back to!
- Grading/results are available in 2 seconds!
The GradePlus Gradebook also provides several reports to evaluate the students, the tests, and how well the subject matter is understood by students.
Fast, easy, reliable, inexpensive - Argus International's GradePlus.
For
the Student
The GradePlus Unit has been specifically designed to
survive student life from Grades 3 thru the University level. The case construction
is of sturdy ABS plastic and can withstand an occasional drop from a desk
to the floor and the high temperatures from being left in a locked car without
deforming (although not recommended and the unit temperature may need to drop
to the ambient temperature to view the display clearly).
Designed to deter viewing other students' answers during a test, the unit has a recessed viewing screen and unidirectional LCD display.
A student may start at any question on the test and return easily to the beginning. Any unanswered questions automatically stop the scrolling function, so an easy check can be made to ensure all questions are answered.
It takes 2 seconds to download answers, grade a test, and have the results returned to a student's unit. (For a detailed explanation, click on Downloading the Answers.)

the Instructor

GradePlus unit may help in the setup and checking of the exam process. It
also comes in handy as a substitute unit for that student whose "dog
ate his" just before class.
