A. Overview
1. To create a single question:
a) run the program MQxx and (W)rite a file (call it QUES.IN1).
b) copy PROTOTYP.PAS to QUES.PAS.
c) Load Turbo, and using F3, load QUES.PAS.
1) Change every occurrence of PROTO to QUES
2) Compile the program (Alt-F9). If there are PASCAL errors,
correct them.
3) Run the program, and check that it is operating properly as
a single question.
2. Once you have created and tested all the questions on the
forthcoming test, you should have a set of n .IN1 files with
different names.
3. To create a complete test, run MTxx. This will compile
PROCTORn.PAS, where n is the number of questions (see part 2
above). MTxx will take the "include" files you created with
MQxx and actually create the Q1OVR.PAS, Q2OVR.PAS, etc.
4. Using a clean disk in the A: drive,
a) copy PROCTORn.EXE and PROCTORn.OVR to the A: drive,
b) and run INITGRAD to initialize each GRADE.BK$ file (one per
student disk) with a password.
B. To look at the results of examinations.
1. As the student works, his(her) responses are stored in a
disk file called Q1.$$$ for question Q1, (Qn.$$$ for
question 'n'). At the end of the examination, each of these
files is hidden in a uuencoded form. Their name, after
uuencoding, is Qn.UUE (or Qn.UUF, Qn.UUG, etc. depending on
how many times the student tried the question). Use UUDECODE
(or UUDEC) to decode these files back into a useable form.
The intention of these files is to show you how the student
did the examination. If you are debugging the question, this
file presents a record of what student answers looked like.
Also, if the student commented on the question, that
comment(s) is contained in this file. If you are going to
expand the repertoire of error responses for this question
(for subsequent use), you may wish to ask the student why
(s)he entered each incorrect response, i.e., what was the
reasoning process. This will allow you to provide
appropriate error responses the next time this question is
used.
2. As the student works, his(her) gradebook is maintained in a
temporary file, which, at the end of the examination, is
uuencoded to replace the original GRADE.BK$ which you stored
on this student's disk. As above, use UUDECODE (or UUDEC) to
decode GRADE.BK$. Uudecoding it will create a file called
GRADEB.OOK, and this file can be typed, printed, etc.. It
tells you if the student got the questions right (or quit),
and how long the student spent on each task. This file is a
true grade book file, which may be manipulated into a class
register, etc..
