Inhaltsangabe:
- Traditionally mathematics tests are done with paper and pencil, no calculator and are written in a secure venue. In March 2020, with three weeks' notice, we had to change our plans to administer a traditional vector calculus test and instead run assessment that was open book and written remotely, with access to electronic tools. The biggest surprise was how easy this was to do. Much of multivariable calculus and vector calculus is dependent on understanding what the question is asking, visualising curves and surfaces and how they interact with one another, and setting up sometimes quite complicated integrals. The final few steps of actually computing the integral are the least important part of any problem. In this short paper I shall set out and motivate design principles for setting such an test, based on our experience in March 2020 and more recently refined in March 2021.
