The method shown has been used successfully during the past 14
years to assess first and second year engineering students.
The availability of the exams online has improved the motivation
of the students and their results.
The results of the surveys conducted among students in the
past years are proof of the success of the method.
For a class of 200 students, the results of an exam with 2
problems and 15 multiple-choice questions are normally published
within 24 hours (2 or 3 teachers doing the grading).
Although the Maxima program and the Moodle module described are
not in a stable form that can be distributed, they are Free Software
and available in beta form for anyone interested.
