Automatic Randomization in Assignment Question Design.

Constantly emerging new technologies have a significant impact on higher education - both positive and negative. E-assignments and online exams are commonly adopted at universities. The randomization of exam questions can be a way to prevent cheating and plagiarism. However, it can also bring the heavy working load to teachers, especially for teaching in big classes. The module leader would like to share an automatic randomization method for exam question design, which makes the assessment procedure transparent, flexible, and most importantly reproduceable. The method is based on Python language and its modules for scientific computing, and it can cover the assignment design in the modules, such as programming language, electric circuits, control systems, signal processing, mechatronics, robotics, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
