What is Take-Home Exercise/ Exam?

Take-Home Exercise/ Exam (THEE) generates any number of CHEMCAD or DWSIM flowsheet simulations for classroom exercises or as individualized exams.

It is for every academic teacher who transforms lectures and seminars from in-class teaching to online self-study and exam settings during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).

Why use Take-Home Exercise/ Exam?

Test Engineering

You test engineering skills
and not only the usage of a process simulator.

Scalable

You offer exams across multiple locations and for an unlimited number of participants.

Secure

You maintain the integrity of the exam thanks to individualized tasks and anti-cheating technologies.

Automated

With auto-grading, you evaluate and grade students with a click.

Cost Effective

You replace or combine with paper exams and examination centers.

Online

All you need is an internet connection to set-up
and run an exam.

Set-up an exam in less than 1 hour

Get started with ready-to-use exam examples of CHEMCAD and DWSIM flowsheets on DASHBOARD.

Use your own flowsheets
and select input and output parameters.

Step 1

Create your exam or exercise in Microsoft Word (DOCX).

Step 2

Permutate input parameters and calculate output parameters using Excel Runner (XLXS).

Step 3

Merge DOCX and XLSX with student email addresses to generate individual PDF files.

Step 4

Share PDF files with students
and collect their submissions.

Step 5

Enjoy automatic evaluation and grading.

Step 6

See how teachers work with THEE

... and what their students think about it

"It was good to gain a deeper understanding of the materials by "hands on" exercises."

"Practical training is the best method to learn how to use a process simulation program. The THEE helped a lot."

"I learned how to set up a flowsheet simulation and it also introduced me to the sensitivity study for process optimization."

" I worked through the exercise at my own speed and could pause or re-read parts of it."

"It helped to understand the thermodynamic processes, simulation and physical property models."

"The THEE is almost exclusively practically orientated. Only the gas loading factor was once calculated by hand."

"The Take-home-exams helped deepen my understanding of the course material."

"The possibility of taking an exam at home with the computer to which we are already accustomed."

"Learned more by doing the tasks than just hearing about the (e.g. in a lecture)."

"The in-browser PDF access was very handy."

"I liked THEE most that they were offered. Apart from that i liked the times restriction, so it forced one to prepare beforehand really concentrate on the task. A THEE with for example 1 week processing time would not have the same effect."

"It helped me more to improve the process simulation skills than self studies."

"It helped to understand better the theory."

"The file sharing feature was convenient."
