Abstract

As part of an electronic educational material based on the Quiz technique, a set of TEX macros has been designed to process many examination and self-test files on personal computers (PCs). Once the Quiz answers have been stored by the students on appropriate answer-files, quick assessment can be automatically realized. So, it becomes easy to keep track of scores on computer files, and to perform an analysis of Quiz results via histograms. In part, this last feature allows one to increase the quality assurance of a teacher's work, because students' knowledge can now be evaluated from reference tests
