Auto grading Google forms with Flubaroo script

There are many tools available for creating quizzes that students can take online.  Moodle, for example, has a powerful quiz module that I use all the time in my class.  To be honest, the learning curve can be a bit steep, so here's another (easier) tool you can try.  It's called Flubaroo and it makes use of Google Forms.  Students submit their answers and they are checked against your key.

The tutorial below takes you through all the steps required.  One thing to note is that for "free response" questions, spelling will count.  There is an option to have particular questions not graded, however, so that you can do these manually (I use that option in Moodle not only for longer responses, but for shorter ones where students may word their answers differently).
