It is every teachers dream to create self grading assignments. No more red ink, no more answer keys, all you need is the ability to read a spreadsheet! This post will outline the use of Flubaroo in Google Sheets as a grading tool. If done properly, you will never need to grade an assignment again!

  • Create a Google Form pertaining to the information you want to test
    • You will need to have the students name for one of the questions you ask
  • Click on responses at the top
  • Click on change response destination
  • Click on create a new spreadsheet and title it gradebook

  • NOTE* after you have created the gradebook, click on add a new sheet to an existing spreadsheet and choose the Gradebook



  • Continue to add your forms so you have all of your responses going to the gradebook. This creates a one stop shop for all of your students responses.
Just before you assign this Google Form:
