Abstract
Instructors of undergraduate courses in economics and finance as well as other business school courses are increasing turning to spreadsheet applications to reinforce concepts presented in the classroom. As the number of exercises increases in these courses the grading and management of the assignments become an overwhelming burden. This teaching note discusses five techniques that were implemented to increase the number of learning exercises, while decreasing the instructors grading time and the opportunity for plagiarism. The key success factor was to implement an automatic grading program for Microsoft Office products reducing grading timing and plagiarism while increasing objectivity in the grading.
