The exam package

This is a simple package to typeset exams. With it, you can define exercises, and items, each with a number of points. A summary is then printed on the front page.

Installation (Linux only)

Using typship

typship download -n local https://imsc.uni-graz.at/git/gjankowiak/typst-exam/

Manually

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/typst/packages/local/exam
cd  ~/.local/share/typst/packages/local/exam
curl https://imsc.uni-graz.at/git/gjankowiak/typst-exam/archive/v0.1.0.tar.gz | tar zx --xform 's/typst-exam/0.1.0/'

Usage

Writing an exam is now easy:

#import "@local/exam:0.1.0": exam, exercise_header, exercise_items, mtext

#show: exam.with(
    title: "Exam",

    course_title: [Abstract Binary Computation & Elegent Finite Graphs],

    institution: [Super University],

    date: "1. January 1970",
    course_short_title: "ABC & EFG",

    course_number: "π",
    duration_minutes: "90", 

    ask_trainer_name: false,
    ask_group: true,

    language: "en",
)

Defining exercises and items

A new exercise can be started using #exercise_header("title", nb_points), for example:

#exercise_header("Relations and their properties", 2)

Consider the relation $R subset NN^2$, defined as follows:

$ (x, y) in R #h(0.5cm) <==> #h(0.5cm) x + y #mtext[is odd]. $

Is $R$ reflexive? transitiv? symmetrisch? antisymmetrisch?

On can also defined (sub-)items for the exercise using #exercise_items(items, override_points:true), where items is an array of (nb_points, statement). By default, the number of points the exercise is worth is recomputed as the sum of points for all items. This behaviour can be turned off by setting override_points: false.

#exercise_header("Properties of functions", 3)

Let $f : (0, +infinity) → (0, +infinity)$ with $f (x) = e^(-x)$.

#exercise_items((
  (1, [Is $f$ injective?]),
  (1, [Is $f$ surjective?]),
  (1, [Is $f$ bijective?]),
))

All together, this should output something like:

Utilities

• mtext(str) to typeset text within math mode using the default text font.
• frame(stroke_width) provides stroke for use in a table, horizontal lines only, top and bottom lines are bold.
