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
