Exam Questions Database System
Multiple choice tests and exams for PHYS1001 are prepared using LaTeX. Each question consist of some plain text and possibly some images. A LaTeX tool (like Overleaf) converts the text and images into a typeset question ready for printing. A substantial collection of questions from the last 10 years exist, and are re-used regularly, both for new tests and exams, and as practise tests for students preparing for actual tests and exams.
This project is to construct a secure online database of these questions.
Each question needs:
-
The text, images and correct answer.
-
Preview image.
-
Link to video solution (if one exists).
-
A record of the previous tests and exams in which it was used, and the student performance on that question in that assessment.
-
The topic and subtopic (e.g. Electricity, Gauss's Law).
-
Keywords.
-
Question comments.
The system would allow staff to search/browse and select desired questions for inclusion in a new test/exam. Once all questions for an assessment are chosen, the necessary text and image files are exported to Overleaf, where new questions can be added, and final editing done.
There are obvious extensions to this system.
-
Go beyond UWA to questions from 1st year physics units around Australia. And then to go beyond physics.
-
Build an online version for direct use by students, with possible commercial application.
