From: Donald E. Simanek <dsimanek@eagle.lhup.edu>
A couple of years ago I visited a sister institution, Mansfield State,
here in PA. Their calculus course was being taught using Mathematica.
Classes were held with each student at a computer with Mathematica on it.
Instructor had a projection system, so all could see it. Instructor couldon
also eavesdrop on students at work (networked). They did their homework
the same workstations. But this is the interesting part: The exams wereany
given at the same workstations, the exam being a Mathematica document, as
I understand it, with students allowed to use Mathematica to its fullest.
My memory is a bit fuzzy. It might have been Maple they were using. In
case, I think this is the sort of thing you are suggesting. Contact the
chairman of Math at Mansfield State U. if you want to know how it worked
out.
