Role: Industrial Engineering Teacher
Location: Mexico City, Mexico
An Interview with a teacher from Mexico's Leading Public University
Quilgo: Tell us a bit about yourself and your role at the university. What subjects do you teach?
Teacher: I'm an industrial engineer with over 10 years of teaching experience. I teach statistics and industrial safety at a large public university in Mexico City. My role involves preparing future engineers for their careers by giving them the tools and knowledge they need, particularly in these crucial subjects for engineering students.
Quilgo: What challenges did you face when moving your assessments online?
Teacher: Moving exams online wasn't easy. One of the primary challenges was ensuring that students couldn't cheat—despite lockdown modes, there were always ways to access the answers. Additionally, tracking time efficiently during exams and ensuring I could confidently assess their knowledge was difficult. There was also the question of how to keep track of their overall performance securely and efficiently.
Quilgo: What main problems did you want to solve with an online testing platform?
Teacher: I was looking for a tool that could help me:
- Prevent cheating and ensure that my exams are secure.
- Help me monitor the time each student took without spending excessive time on administrative tasks.
- Streamline my exam management process and provide a more professional experience for my students.
Quilgo: How did Quilgo help you address these issues?
Teacher: Quilgo has been a game-changer for me.
- Cheating prevention: The individual test links for each student have been handy. They prevent sharing answers and allow me to track who accessed the test and when.
- Time management: I no longer have to monitor how much time each student takes manually. The timer functionality is automated, so I can focus on the content and not worry about timing issues.
- Data insights: I can now easily track each student's progress, helping me follow up with students who need more support and provide quick feedback.
What aspects of Quilgo have been the most helpful for your exams?
Teacher: Time tracking has been one of the most valuable features. It ensures the students stay on track and that no one has extra time, which makes the process fairer. Additionally, I love the individual links for each student. It's a minor feature but has made a massive difference in exam security. Lastly, tracking exam completion helps me monitor who has finished their test and who hasn't, making follow-up much easier.
Quilgo: How has Quilgo improved your overall testing experience?
Teacher: Since adopting Quilgo, managing exams has become a breeze. I can now monitor everything remotely with little effort. It has saved me significant time—what used to take hours now happens automatically. I can focus on what matters: teaching. Quilgo has also improved the professionalism of my testing process. My exams look polished, and students have a smooth, consistent experience.
Quilgo: Can you quantify the impact that Quilgo has had on your workflow?
Teacher: Of course. Since I started using Quilgo, the efficiency of my exam process has significantly improved. On average, I take three exams per semester , each lasting about two hours. With Quilgo, I no longer have to manually track the timing or worry about students attempting to cheat. This has reduced my time managing each exam, allowing me to focus more on teaching. I now use Quilgo once a month for each subject, and the platform has made these assessments much smoother and more secure. It's saved me valuable time to reinvest in supporting my students and further refining my teaching methods.
Quilgo: How would you describe Quilgo to other educators who might be considering it?
Teacher: Useful tool for online assessment, friendly to use and implement.
