Online test paper generation for a web-based mathematics testing environment

Abstract

First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Hui Siu Cheung, for his encouragement, support and guidance on this research. As a supervisor, he gives valuable advice and inspiration on my research topic. Without his guidance, I could not have completed the work reported in this thesis. My gratitude also goes to Dr. Alvis Cheuk M. Fong and Dr. Quan Thanh Tho for their support for my PhD application. Their help is invaluable for the early stage of my academic career. I would like to thank the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University for providing me the scholarship to pursue this research. I would also like to thank the technical staffs of the CAIS Lab, Mrs. Linda Ang and Mr. Thomas Loo, for their supports over the years. I would also like to thank my friends at the Nanyang Technological University for their help. Last but not least, I am very grateful to my parents and sister for their encouragement and support. Their love accompanies me wherever I go.
