In this spring semester, Julie opened a new course and now she wants to have a test to evaluate how students are doing and get them prepared for the mid-semester research project. Julie will use Examena to manually create the mid-semester exam paper for this new course.
She can create the paper by the following steps:
On the Bank page, click Create blank paper.
1. Enter a paper name and select a course.
2. Click Exam settings and configure the following settings:
•Click Randomise questions, and select Randomise questions in the selected sections from the Randomise questions drop-down list to randomise questions in the paper.
Select the sections where the questions you want to randomise for candidates from the Sections for randomisation drop-down list.
Click Save to save the question randomisation settings.
•Click Randomise choices, and select Yes or No to enable or disable choice randomisation. Click Apply to apply this setting to the new choice questions that are added to the paper later, or click Apply to all to apply this setting to all choice questions in the paper.
