Nice. I had something a little bit different in mind, but your examples gave me some ideas, especially the shuffling stuff. If I have something new to add, I will share my results with the list. Thank you a lot. Best regards, Jairo El mié, 6 de ene. de 2021 a la(s) 03:56, Otared Kavian (otared@gmail.com) escribió:

Following up my previous message, here is an example:

%% begin shuffled list of exercises \setuprandomize[2021]

\startluacode function shuffle(tableau) local maxsize, t, tt maxsize = #tableau tt = {} t = {} for i = 1, maxsize do t[i] = {} t[i]["columnOne"] = tableau[i] t[i]["columnTwo"] = math.random(1,100*maxsize) end table.sort(t, function(a,b) return a.columnTwo < b.columnTwo end) for i = 1, maxsize do tt[i] = t[i]["columnOne"] end return tt end \stopluacode

% We define three arrays % with the names, the functions and their derivatives % One could also add a ListOfVariables...

\startluacode

ListOfNames = { "f", "g", "h", "u", "v", "F", "G", "H", }

ListOfFunctions = { "\\cos(x^2)", "x\\sin(x)", "\\tan(x)", "x^3 - 3x^2 + 1", "\\frac{1}{1 + x^2}", "\\sin(\\log(x))", }

ListOfDerivatives = { "-2x\\sin(x^2)", "x\\cos(x) + \\sin(x)", "1 + \\tan(x)^2", "3x^2 - 6x", "\\frac{-2x}{(1 + x^2)^2}", "\\frac{\\cos(\\log(x))}{x}", }

\stopluacode

\starttext

% We define a buffer and a shuffled list of integers

\startbuffer[test-derivatives] \startluacode ShuffledList = shuffle({1,2,3,4,5,6}) \stopluacode

Let $\cldcontext{ListOfNames[ShuffledList[\recurselevel]]}(x) := \cldcontext{ListOfFunctions[ShuffledList[\recurselevel]]}$. Prove that \startformula \cldcontext{ListOfNames[ShuffledList[\recurselevel]]}'(x) = \cldcontext{ListOfDerivatives[ShuffledList[\recurselevel]]} \stopformula \stopbuffer

\dorecurse{6}{\blank[medium]{\bf Exercise #1.} \getbuffer[test-derivatives] }

\stoptext

%% end shuffled list of exercises

Hi Jairo,

One can indeed make quizzes and exams with randomized order of problems, randomized values and even randomized names of functions and variables. I have some examples which I have been using for several years (they are useful especially in these days of giving exams online…): I can send them to you as they are, or if you tell me what kind of problems you want, then I can adapt my examples before sending them to you.

Best regards: Otared

Hi, list.

Some time ago I realized ConTeXt has "blocks" which allow one to make quizzes, exams and related with ease. However, I want to know if there's an option to randomize their order when printed. Thank you in advance.

Jairo
