Exam season begins today. Good luck to everyone sitting exams this week and next.
Since the pandemic, we have gone through several electronic twists. The biggest chunk of work used to be the reading and grading over the summer. We have retained some of that component. But today, preparation and programming have become the greatest challenge. E-exams have shifted the load: less correction afterward, more engineering beforehand.
Yet, intensity and pre-exam nerves remain, also for the teacher. The questions have changed, though: Will the platform be stable? Are the questions appropriate and fair? Are the points balanced? Is the time limit challenging enough?
