Why PC-based testing? • A growing separation between course content and testing • Learning by doing in class • Paper testing becoming disconnected • If secure, a PC-based test might reduce cheating. • More feasible to grade complex questions • Insufficient nuance with Scan. Tron • Burden of grading free answer questions

Example • If Jerry spends $5 on 10 apples and Alice spends $6 on 9 apples, what is their average cost per apple? Cost per apple = Total dollars spent / Total number of apples

Concerns • Cheating is widespread, and an insecure PC is the ideal tool for it • Computer labs being phased out, own PCs preferable to students anyway • Solutions that are too much like “big brother” or that are detrimental to regular PC use
