Maplesoft has released the newest version of its popular testing and assessment tool. Available from Adept Scientific (Letchworth, Herts) version 7 of Maple T.A. provides new options for analysing grades and gaining a deep understanding of how students are performing.

The new analysis capabilities in Maple T.A. 7 include tools that let instructors view all responses to a single question at once to look for patterns, track progress towards the final grade based on an instructor-defined grading scheme, and incorporate and analyse results from external assignments. Maple T.A. 7 also introduces new palettes that make it easy for students to enter integrals, derivatives and matrices in natural mathematical notation, which allows instructors to offer a wide variety of questions even to students who are not comfortable with commands and syntax.

“Assessment tools for courses involving mathematics face unique challenges. Our testing and assessment product takes advantage of our years of experience developing mathematical software for education and academic research,” says Paul DeMarco, Director of Development for Maple™ and Maple T.A. “With the new releases of Maple T.A., instructors and students have even more tools available to them to support the assessment process.”
