Alphabetizing Excel files from PointSolutions
C
Chris Gordon
The only issue I have constantly is that the PointSolutions data that I export as an Excel file is not alphabetizing common names. For example, I have three "Smiths" in one class and the exported data is not alphabetized. I have to manually reorder the names to past the data into my Excel gradebook. Uploading the grades to Canvas is no problem, but I do not let Canvas average grades. Instead, I use Excel to average and drop grades, so I need the data alphebetized properly. It would be easier if there was some way to add a number to the end of a name to always keep it in the proper order. This was possible when I used the iClicker" devices in class. I also liked the option in iClicker of being able to toggle back and forth during polling whereby I can show the number of students choosing the different choices on a quiz, but then making the chart disappear before the end of the time allocation. Is getting the names alphabetized and having this last option possibilities for the PointSolutions clicker?
