How Do Traditional Examination Questions Fare in the Presence of a Computer Algebra System (CAS)?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Malabar, Ian; Pountney, Dave – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Describes the outcomes and discusses possible implications for the development of assessment with a Computer Algebra System (CAS) when a group of undergraduate mathematics students, familiar with using a CAS in examinations, tackled an assortment of traditional (i.e., non-CAS type) questions.

Computer Algebra Systems and the Challenge of Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Roger – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Reviews what is happening in examination systems that have begun to allow the use of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in externally set 'high stakes' assessment regimes. Discusses possible options for the future with the intention of developing a dialogue on how assessment with a CAS can help develop the mathematical literacy of students. (Author/MM)
