Although you can use the Exam Builder to create course materials that don't vary from instance to instance, the power of the Exam Builder lies in its ability to generate materials that differ slightly each time a source file is compiled. From a single source file, you can quickly create a tutorial, drill, or practice set that changes each time you or your students open the .qiz file. The ever-changing set of questions helps your students develop and master concepts and skills. With just a few source files, you can develop entire course units consisting of tutorials, drills, practice sets, and exams, then use Scientific Notebook document links to organize them in the order you think best for your students. And if your students have online access, they can submit their work for grading. The feedback is instantaneous.
The Quizzes directory in your installed version of Scientific Notebook or on your Scientific Notebook CD contains many examples of Exam Builder exams. Click here../tour/tests.tex to test yourself with some of them. Use them to get ideas for building your own set of Exam Builder course materials.
