Will all these students take the exam in class simultaneously
in a large computer lab?
yes, that's the idea (well, we have 3 labs with total capacity over
200 seats)
Can you set up a Sage server locally,
(a) create one worksheet worksheet_x per student x (that you own),
the worksheet consisting of exam questions,
(b) share worksheet_x with x
(c) tell the student to save the work when they are done?
Even easier is to create one public worksheet that everyone must
manually copy into their account before editing. It's still pretty
easy to poke around and look at other people's worksheets if you know
how (via the filesystem, unless extra accounts are set up, and you
probably don't want to create 200 login accounts on the server) so I'd
say this works best with low-stakes problems where the goal is
experimentation. For code, I think projects usually make more sense
than exams.
The nice thing about David's method is it prevents the students from
easily sharing their worksheet with someone else. They would have to
make a copy of the worksheet and then share that with someone first.
It sounds like keeping track of who a worksheet was ever shared with is
a good thing to add to the notebook.
Thanks,
