Create and evaluate multiple choice exams
It is my wish in the course of the ongoing apparent dialectic movements of democratization and commercialization of knowledge and information, to contribute to the idea of democratization. Therefore, I fully support the goals of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), that are
"the freedoms of speech, press, and association on the Internet, the right to use encryption software for private communication, and the right to write software unimpeded by private monopolies."
For this reason the code underlies the GNU General Public License and the documentation, respectively, the GNU Free Documentation License.
However, I must advise you not to use multiple choice exams as the only means for testing students' knowledge. This will never be a proper method to treat intellectual knowledge, most notably because of its poor expressiveness. Do not hide your responsibility as a teacher behind statistical power and evaluate the quality of the questions carefully.
