Mark without separate answers sheet, but printed with separate answers sheet

Added by Jácome Cunha 1 day ago

Hi!

I've prepared and printed my exams with separate answers sheet. However, due to a printing issue, students answered in the questions sheet. Thus, the answers sheet has no answers. How can I mark these exams?

I know I can add the answer sheet "by hand", but I'm looking for a more automated way of doing this.

Thanks in advance!

I have not tested it, but you can try this:
  1. clone or backup your project directory to work on a copy as you have to be prepared to break things…
  2. close AMC
  3. open a terminal, go to your project directory and exchange the boxes roles in the layout database:
    cd /path/to/the/project/directory
sqlite3 data/layout.sqlite 'update layout_box set role=50 where role=2;'
sqlite3 data/layout.sqlite 'update layout_box set role=2 where role=1;'
sqlite3 data/layout.sqlite 'update layout_box set role=1 where role=50;'
  4. open AMC and your modified project, and go to automatic data capture from your scans
