Creating the form of the quiz itself was easy and very see explanatory. I also liked how it automatically made a spread sheet to accompany the quiz. This was definitely a plus. Things got a little more complicated however in trying to figure out how to make the test self scoring. However, once it was figured out, it was pretty simple from there. The key is waiting until after the students take the quiz. Then, you can write the formula and copy the formula down for all the students. When doing this however it is important that the row that is being compared, or the answer key, is always the same to do this, in the formula make sure that those corresponding cells contain the $ so instead of B2:D2 is would be B$2:D$2.
I looked at a lesson plan where the class was studying human dimensions. The teacher had the students measure various parts of their body such as wingspan, and height. The students then entered their data into the Form that the teacher had created, which automatically entered it into the corresponding spreadsheet. Students could then look at this data sheet and answer questions about corresponding lengths and even calculating wingspan based on height, based on the correspondence they see in the form.
Another Teacher who was doing a consumer product testing experiment had the students make a form to conduct their survey. As people took the survey the answers they provided where automatically entered into a corresponding spreadsheet, which the students could then use to view the data, draw conclusions, and even make graphs for it.
Forms is a quick and fairly easy way to conduct surveys and quizzes, and even have google grade the quizzes for you.
