Dear Physics 303K/L instructors and TAs,

 

You are invited to participate the Quest-Training session on this coming Tuesday, 1-2pm in RLM14.318. This session is a sequel to our MI-workshop (Jan 13-14). Our general objective is to support the teaching of Engineering Physics, Physics 303K/L, using the Matter & Interaction curriculum in our department. This training session is intended familiarize our MI- instructors how the IM-exam problems are generated within the Quest system, and equip their 303K TAs with a basic working knowledge, so that they can proceed to make exam problems in Quest. 

 

The training session will be led by our graduate student Manasvi Lingam, who has over one semester’s experience in making 303K/L-MI exam problems in Quest.  This session gives an introduction to the Quest system from the perspective of MI-application. It covers the basic information in the Quest system:

o   Finding MI-data bank problems in Quest

o   Overview of Quest code structure

o   Two fundamental problem-formats: multiple choice format and numerical format

o   Working on: Editing, debugging, inserting figure and publishing in Quest.

Manasvi will led to work through two practice problems during the session. The TAs and others who are interested in hands-on experience should bring their own laptops to the session.

 

If you are interested in hands-on participation of the session, please read following links ahead of time:

o   Outline  

o   Step by step guide for the session. 

See you at the workshop.

 

Thank you,


Charles Chiu and Manasvi Lindam
