# AMC-note(1)

computes marks after scans data capture for AMC multiple choice exams.

## NAME

AMC-note - computes marks after scans data capture for AMC multiple choice exams.

## SYNOPSIS

**auto-multiple-choice** note --data *project-data-dir* \[--seuil *threshold*\] \[--grain *granularity*\] \[--arrondi *rounding*\] \[--notemin *min*\] \[--notemax *max*\] \[--no-plafond \| --plafond\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **AMC-note.pl** command computes marks for all students from the scoring strategy extracted from the LaTeX source file by [**AMC-prepare**(1)](/AMC-prepare/1.md) and from the data capture reports made by [**AMC-analyse**(1)](/AMC-analyse/1.md).

- **--data** *project-data-dir*

  gives the directory where data files are (see for example [**AMC-meptex**(1)](/AMC-meptex/1.md)).

- **--seuil** *threshold*

  gives the black ratio threshold for deciding whether a box is ticked or not. When deciding whether a box is checked or not, **AMC-note.pl** compares the black ratio (number of black pixels over total number of pixels) to *threshold*. If the black ratio is greater then *threshold*, the box is declared to be checked. Standard values can be 0.15 in the standard layout, or 0.5 for separate answer sheet layout (in this last case, letters are drawn in the boxes, and the students are told to fill the boxes entirely).

- **--seuil-up** *upper\_threshold*

  gives the black ratio threshold over which a box is considered as not being ticked. You can set this value to (for example) 0.6 to allow students to cancel a ticked box filling it completely: if the black ratio is between *threshold* and *upper\_threshold*, the box is considered as being ticked, but if the black ratio is greater than *upper\_threshold* (for example when the box is filled), the box is considered as not being ticked. The default value is 1.0, so that this feature is disabled.

- **--grain** *granularity* **--arrondi** *rounding*

  ask marks to be rounded to a multiple of *granularity*. If *rounding* is 'i', rounding is done from below (as with [**floor**(3)](/floor/3.md)). If *rounding* is 'n', rounding is done to the nearest multiple of *granularity*. If *rounding* is 's', rounding is done from above (as with [**ceil**(3)](/ceil/3.md)). For example, with options "**--grain 0.25 --arrondi s**", mark 6.285 is rounded to 6.5.

- **--notemin** *min*

  with this option, all marks below *min* will be replaced by *min*.

- **--notemax** *max*

  gives the mark to associate to a sheet where all answers are correct. If not used, marks are not scaled.

- **--plafond**

  with this option, all marks above *max* will be replaced by *max*.

- **--debug** *file.log*

  gives a file to fill with debugging information.

- **--postcorrect-student** *s* **--postcorrect-copy** *c*

  requests port-correction from the completed answer sheet identified by student and copy numbers. In post-correction mode, correct answers are not extracted from the LaTeX source file, but taken from the answers given on this sheet.
