Step 4: Teacher Analyzes Self-Survey of students using Google Sheets

Google Slides

Google SheetsGoogle Forms

Gamifying the EvaluationThe results of the survey are automatically and directly collated into

a google sheet file

Gamifying the EvaluationThe results of the survey will be exported and viewed by the Teacher in pie

chart formThen the teacher will compute for the total tokens of the group/section

using the summary:

All you have to do is multiply the number of tokens to its corresponding number of respondents for every question

= 20 tokensX

X = 60 tokens

Then do the same method with the rest of the responses

80 Tokens 70 Tokens

75 Tokens

Gamifying the Evaluation

A TOTAL OF 225 TOKens
