SAM 2003 ProGrader v. 1.5

Upgrade to SAM 2003 Version 3.1!

Introducing SAM 2003 ProGrader™—a first-of-its-kind online software package that automatically grades Office 2003 case projects in seconds. With ProGrader, opening individual data files, reviewing stacks of printed homework, and other manual grading techniques are history!

If you have already tried out ProGrader, here are just a few of the new features you can look forward to in version 1.5:

  • 3 brand new Microsoft® Office 2003 PowerPoint Projects
  • Instructor control of number of project submissions
  • Ability to export reports in multiple formats, or into Blackboard gradebooks
  • Specific mapping to the projects in your Course Technology textbooks

As always, ProGrader offers:

  • Customizable Projects: Instructors choose, customize, and schedule ready-made Office 2003 case projects.
  • Automatic Grading: Student work submitted to ProGrader returns grade results within seconds.
  • Reports: Various student and instructor reports are available at the individual and class level.
  • No Installation: SAM 2003 ProGrader is 100% online. Your students simply need access to the Internet (Key Code required) for downloading and uploading files, as well as Microsoft Office 2003 software.
  • Flexible Scheduling: SAM’s scheduling system allows you to control when student assignments are available.
  • Academic Dishonesty Safeguard: Downloaded documents will be “tagged” with student login information ensuring that students are submitting only files they’ve downloaded and worked on.
Instructors have the ability to choose assignments from a bank of “templates.”
Certain attributes in the templates can be customized to suit your needs and the needs of your students. This may include font changes, point value changes, text changes, and more.
Students work live in the application after downloading a set of instructions and the initial starting file.
Students and Instructors can view detailed reports, which will tell students where they went right or wrong, the number of points awarded per step, and give specific page(s) to refer to in their Cengage-Course Technology books for additional information.
