%% EXAM.STY -- Examination Style (article version) for LaTeX version 2.09 %% History: July 21, 1989; Original version (MCTF.STY) July 25, 1988 %% Author: George D. Greenwade (BED_GDG@SHSU.BITNET) %% Center for Business and Economic Research %% Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX 77341-2056 %% Huntsville, Texas, USA 77341-2056 %% (409) 294-1518 %% %% Includes ART11.STY, FULLPAGE.STY, and FANCYHEADINGS.STY as default. %% Usage: \documentstyle[exam]{article} %% %\key % remove leading comment if key is desired, see below %% %\listing % remove leading comment if listing is desired, see below %% \courseno{ECO 530} % specify the course number in this field %% \examno{One} % specify the exam number in this field %% \date{Exam Date} % specify exam date (my preference is to use %% % semester and year); default is \today %% \prof{Greenwade} % specify the professor's name in this field %% \intro{Instruction text} % specify the instruction text in this %% % field. Note that this version does NOT %% % provide a line for the student's name. %% \begin{document} %% \maketitle % generate a first page with information %% % provided above %% \startquestions %% %See below for specifics of operation %% %% % multiple choice example %% \qtem{A}{03.015} This is a multiple choice question and: %% \startanswers %% \atem this is the correct answer. %% \atem this is an incorrect answer. %% \atem this is another incorrect answer. %% \finishanswers %% %% % true-false example %% \qtem{T}{05.027} This is a true statement. \endtf %% %% % essay example, with a 2 inch blank response area %% \ltem{2}{11.045} You have two inches to respond to this. \endessay %% %% % fill-in-the-blank example %% \ftem{missing}{15.23} There is a word \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ . %% \endfitb %% %% \finishquestions %% \end{document} %% %% NOTES %% All questions are within a minipage environment to ensure that questions %% are not broken across pages. %% %% A variation of the enumi counter is employed (\qcount) to ensure proper %% enumeration of questions. %% %% There are useful variations of \item within the file to assist in the %% generation of exams: %% %% Exam questions are delimited by \startquestions ... \finishquestions %% QUESTION TYPES %% -- \qtem{X}{Y} creates a question item for multiple choice and %% true/false items, with a blank leading line for responses. In this %% case, {X} represents the correct response (\qtema) and {Y} represents %% the question number from within the master question data file %% (\qmasno). BOTH X AND Y MUST BE SPECIFIED, EVEN IF AS \qtem{}{} %% -- \ltem{X}{Y} creates a question item for essay and fill-in-the-blank %% items, without a blank leading line for responses. In this case, {X} %% represents the vertical blank space for the response (\qtema) and %% {Y} represents the question number from within the master question %% data file (\qmasno). %% BOTH X AND Y MUST BE SPECIFIED, WITH X POSSESSING AN EXPLICIT NUMBER. %% THE MINIMAL ENTRY IS \ltem{0}{} %% ANSWER TYPES %% Answers to question are delimited by: %% -- MULTIPLE CHOICE: (Following \qtem{X}{Y} The question text...) a %% delimited range begining with \startanswers and ended by \finishanswers; %% each answer item is identified with \atem. This creates an enumerated %% list (\enumii) of a., b., c., ... %% -- TRUE/FALSE: (Following \qtem{X}{Y} The question text...) terminate %% text with \endtf , which automatically generates a. True b. False %% -- ESSAY/FILL-IN-THE-BLANK: (Following \ltem{X}{Y} The question text...) %% terminate test with \endessay , which provides X inches of specified %% vertical space for the response. In the case of Fill-in questions, %% specify X to zero %% %% There are two useful preamble declarations (\key and \listing) used to %% produce different reports from a .TEX file: %% -- no declaration creates an exam, with leading blanks, as specified by %% \qtem or \ltem. %% -- \key creates an answer key, with the correct answer placed where the %% leading blank space was on the exam form. The key format is %% identical to the corresponding exam. %% -- \listing creates a listing of questions similar to \key, but the %% master question number is also provided. This option is handy in %% maintaining the master database of questions. In the case of the %% \listing output for \ltem items, a note is provided informing of the %% vertical space provided for the answer, rather than the physical space %% for the answer to conserve printed output. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Get ART11.STY from local collection \input{art11.sty} % This is FULLPAGE.STY, version 2 % (hardcoded to ensure consistency between users) % This is FULLPAGE.STY by H.Partl, Version 2 as of 15 Dec 1988. \topmargin 0pt \headheight 13.6pt % necessary variation to avoid overfull vboxes \headsep 30pt % necessary variation to provide nicer tops of pages \advance \topmargin by -\headheight \advance \topmargin by -\headsep \textheight 9.2in \oddsidemargin 0pt \evensidemargin \oddsidemargin \marginparwidth 0.5in \textwidth 6.5in % end of FULLPAGE.STY % This is FANCYHEADINGS.STY % (hardcoded to ensure consistency between users) % fancyheadings.sty version 1.0 % Fancy headers and footers. % Piet van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, University of Utrecht % Padualaan 14, P.O.
