Description

The purpose of this project is to uphold fairness while maintaining rigor and consistency across different exam versions, all while assessing the same learning objectives. Furthermore, we intend to streamline the exam format to fulfill two main purposes: first, maximizing the benefits of the different study resources utilized in the course, and second, creating a format that is ideal for finishing the exam within the specified timeframe. I will be presenting the outcome of our project from summer 2025 and discussing the ongoing work on exam versions for Fall 2025.
