Announcing Maple T.A. 8 and Maple T.A. MAA Placement Test Suite 8

eithne — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:01:01 Z

New versions of Maple T.A. and the Maple T.A. MAA Placement Test Suite are now available. Highlights include:

- Adaptive questions provide students another chance when they give an incorrect response. Knowing the student is having trouble, the question can be adapted to walk the student through the problem one step at a time, allow students to try a simpler version of the same question before retrying the original, or whatever the instructor feels is appropriate.

Error in MapleGraded Code?

armstrongc — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:28:40 Z

This should be astonishingly simple as a MapleGraded question but it stubbornly refuses to agree with me. Everything is marked incorrect ... one wishes for some feedback from MapleTA as to what is going on.

Student enters a vector. The goal is to have the dot product with <5,3,1> to be whatever value is chosen for $p, which is in the $ANSWER field:

$m:=<5,3,1>;
$d:=LinearAlgebra:-DotProduct($m,$RESPONSE);
is(($d-$p)=0);

Editing MapleTA login page

armstrongc — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:39:44 Z

We have MapleTA installed on our own server and would like to edit the Login page so that students realize they are on OUR MapleTA page ... students are not particularly observant (no, really!) and often try to login at any MapleTA site they find on the internet. There is nothing in the UserGuide on editing either the Login or Class pages.

Thanks!

Explain fmt string in numfmt(fmt, x) function

Please explain details of the fmt string in the mapleta function numfmt. The help page only says

Returns the value of x, formatted according to the template fmt.

For example,

How do I obtain the clock time in MapleTA and/or Maple

Steven Bellenot — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 18:09:35 Z

I have a mapleTA question that blocks students from starting a mastery assignment until I tell them how to do the problem. But some students are gaming it but finding out the problem from an earlier section. I want to game back by making the answer change depending on the wall clock, that is the section they are in. To do so, I need a clock function to tell the time. Since I can call maple inside mapleTA, a maple solution will also work.

Grading code not simplifying properly... Help!

andrewc — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 07:52:03 Z

Hi,

I've recently started creating questions using MapleTA, and at the moment I've hit a stumbling block.

For a particular question, the students need to enter a formula. When I input the answer in decimal form, the question is graded correctly; when I put it in fractional form, it's not. I've used the simplify command in every perturbation I know, but I can't get it to work.

Simple Point Plotting in TA

youngdj — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:45:53 Z

I'm just getting started with Maple TA (version 5). Playing with making plots based on algorithmic variables.

I would like to choose 2 random variable to use as x and y values...

$a=range(-5,5,1);
$b=range(-5,5,1);

...and plot the point defined by ($a,$b).

I can plot a function using this command...

$plot1=plotmaple("plot($a*x+$b,x=-10..10,y=-10..10)");

Mapleta forum disappeared?

Ian Jones — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 20:29:39 Z

What has happened to the TA forum? Are questions now deliberately mixed with those for Maple? Is it possible to filter and somehow recover the TA forum?

Many thanks
