AEGIS / Academic Exam Generator for Interchange and Shuffe

This package offers tools to compose exams from a pool of exercises. It can be used to produce a one-time exam from a set of chosen exercises, or to produce a large number of different exams about a topic, with a similar level of difficulty. This can be usefull, for example, for take-home exams, where the sharing of exams among students is possible.

It requires a system with Latex and a pool of exercises written on separated Latex files.

Example:

Supose we have to make different exams, comprising 3 problems. We have several versions of the problems, with a similar difficulty, in the midterm_exam_01 directory:

MyCourse
├── syllabus.txt
├── bibliography
├── midterm_exam_01
│   ├── problem01_version01.tex
│   ├── problem01_version02.tex
│   ├── problem01_version03.tex
│   ├── problem02_version01.tex
│   ├── problem02_version02.tex
│   ├── problem03_version01.tex
│   ├── problem03_version02.tex
│   └── bboxinout.py
└── notes

It is possible to make 12 different exams using the different versions of the exercises. AEGIS allows to read the exercises and combine them in a template latex file to make a set of exams.

Requirements

AEGIS generates and compile Latex documents, so it need a working installation of Latex in the system.
