1.5.1 TCExam Review


The TCExam is a web-based program with limited features. The software is mainly to satisfy the need for online test administration and does not particularly aid a teacher in generating exams. This is one of the more simplistic designs available and allows very little customization.

One of the biggest downfalls of this system is the random tests for each user. Random tests are a problem because an instructor cannot produce the same exam for all students without extra work. Unless an instructor gives nearly all tests online and unsupervised, this feature is burdensome rather than helpful. Since each test will be random, an instructor cannot preview the test or modify it, such as adding or removing a question.

A second major downfall is insufficient test-generation options. An instructor only has the options to specify the number of each question type, topics, and per question. TCExam does not offer the flexibility to produce a test based on specific topics, questions, difficulty or other criteria. The also cannot adjust the points scale for individual questions.

Although this program does suit particular audiences, it does not cover the needs of the majority of users.
