“…For example, in the study presented in Zampirolli et al [30], the automatic assessment of programming exercises was analyzed, and it was concluded that automation improves the learning process because it increases the number and frequency of tests and allows feedback to be instantly provided to students. In the field of linear circuits and electronics, there have been proposals for the automatic evaluation of circuit designs [5,15].…”

Exam versioning is a widely used approach to prevent cheating during exams, but it can increase the workload for lecturers in terms of exam preparation and correction. Automated exam versioning can help reduce this workload and minimize errors in correction. This article presents the EVERSYS platform, which is focused on linear circuits but can be applied to other engineering fields. An exam problem is described as a circuit schema, a set of component values, and a set of questions to be answered. The EVERSYS platform allows lecturers to easily create exam versions with high variability, including different schemas, component values, and question sets. The platform is based on the MATLAB/Octave programming language and HTML document descriptions. Creating a multiversion exam is straightforward, involving the adaptation of a set of predefined MATLAB scripts and modification of the HTML format if necessary. A set of example exams is provided as well as the complete platform source code. The platform was tested during a 2021–2022 compulsory course on linear circuits at a Spanish University. The results indicated that the platform significantly reduced the time required for exam preparation and correction, and there was no statistically significant difference in student performance across different exam versions. Students reported high levels of satisfaction with the platform, and almost all agreed that it effectively prevents cheating during exams.

“…In [33], a radically new evaluation system was proposed, using RFID sensors to gather data about the student's location on the institution premises, interactions between them, and behavioral activity, apart from their academic activity. A more recent approach can be found in [5], where an autonomous evaluation system based on the eSIM tool (https://esim.fossee.in/) is described. Other recent research on evaluation can be found in [14], which focused on creating an averaged final mark where teacher evaluation, self‐evaluation, intergroup evaluation, and intragroup evaluation are combined, in the frame of a Small Private Online Course.…”

During the first semester of 2020-2021, classes for Linear Circuit Analysis subjects (Mechanical Engineering Degree, Miguel Hernandez University of Elche, Spain) were taught in a dual way because of the COVID-19 pandemic: students were able to attend in-person or online, as long as the in-person attendance limit was not surpassed. The same strategy was used for exams: each student decided whether to take the exam in-person or online. Specific software tools were used for the in-advance seat reservation and simultaneous online and in-person class attendance, and examination tools and strategies, with a special emphasis on avoiding online cheating. Online attendance was preferred by students (averaging 64.9% of global attendance for lectures and 84.5% for exams), with abrupt increases during the worst episodes of the pandemic. Video recordings of the lectures were made available to all of the students, with the most viewed video being accessed over 200 times. Concerning evaluation, no statistically significant differences were found between in-person or online average examination marks (p = .133), which may be an indicator of low online cheating. Student feedback showed their satisfaction with the dual teaching strategy, despite their initial doubts at the beginning of the course.
