Success Stories

“STEPS has provided a paperless system that is easy to use. I simply log on, release student work and assign to faculty evaluators. They, in turn, log on and score the response. At the end of the scoring period, I provide the spreadsheet, generated by STEPS, to the assessment team. The STEPS support team is also great.”
