Description
Suggestion from Peer Instruction workshop in June 2025.
For a timed exam it would be nice if the students got the questions in a random order or in a random order by type of question. For example, I usually have multiple-choice questions, followed by fill in the blank, followed by Parsons problems, followed by active code. It would be nice to present the MCQs in a random order followed by the fill in the blank in a random order, etc.
