In this paper we will present a case study of using multiple-choice tests for university level courses: Digital logics and Artificial intelligence. It is a well known fact that multiple-choice questions can be used to assess student's knowledge – not only student's recall, but also the verification of student's analysis and synthesis abilities. We will give an example of questions for assessmen...

Common themes in requirements for prospective mathematics teachers include mathematical modelling, problem solving, technology, and communicating mathematics.

Training near-peer mentors for peer code review is one solution. This paper describes the preparation of near-peer mentors for their role, with a focus on regular, consistent feedback via peer code review a...

A method for the preparation of intact rat hepatocytes in high yield was first described in 1969. The procedure involved digestion of hepatic tissue by perfusion of the liver with crude collagenase; later, purified collagenase without other enzymic additions was shown to be ineffective. Recently it has been discovered that the combination of purified collagenase plus elastase is superior to cru...
