Scantron Notes

2024-2025:  Usage remained relatively consistent with only minor fluctuations.  Biology remains the heaviest user of the service.

2023-2024: Scantron usage was pretty consistent from the previous year.

2022-2023: The number of unique instructors and courses was relatively stable, so it would seem more frequent testing would account for the sharp rise in the number of batches and sheets being scored, as well as higher enrollment in the courses typically scored by Scantron.
2021-2022: A user-satisfaction survey was sent to all Scantron users.  A drop-off box was implemented as a result of the survey, and it was determined only one style of answer sheet should be offered for the service.
2020-2021: The library assumed responsibility for Scantron scoring from ITS in September, 2020.
