Opinions on exams:

The computerised exams are a good concept, but there are some areas of

their execution that could be improved, specifically things like grammatical

errors and typing errors that make the exams harder to understand in

some cases. The impression is given that not enough care is taken in

preparing the exams.

The current feedback from the exams is not particularly helpful, providing

only the mark that you achieved. An improvement would be to provide

comments that indicate which question areas you had difficulty with.

The computerised exams are less stressfull than traditional style ones.

Harder than the usual written exams.

It's harder because there is no room for error,

no leeway for ambiguous answers that may

have got a few marks in the past. More care

and effort has to be taken with revision

because more of the silabus can be covered

inthe time allowed. It pushes students

further because they have to understand

and know the exact answer to get the

marks and know the full silabus. With

conventional testing procedures where you

answer a few questions from section A and

say one from section B. So a certain

amount of hedging you bets can be done!

With multiple choice (in this case) you need to

know everything no chances can be taken.

During the term the tests are a good gauge to know exactly

how you are doing with your studies (what you do and dont know)

My only criticism being some of the coding is large and the answers

arent visable so you have to scroll up and down. Changing text size improves this (sorry) I prefer

these tests compared to written test.
