Viewing Questions in Maple
To view and test your questions in Maple:
• From the View menu, select Assignment. This view displays all of the
questions in your assignment with access to hints, plotting, and grading.
After answering your questions, you can test the grading function by clicking
the Grade button. A Maplet dialog is displayed indicating if the question
was answered correctly. If hints were provided in the question, these are also
displayed.
Saving Test Content
When you save a document with test content, the authoring and assignment
modes determine what the user sees when opening your document.
• If you save the document in authoring mode (task template contents
visible), the user sees this content when opening the document.
• If you save the document in assignment mode, the users sees only the
assignment layout.
In both cases the View>Assignment menu is accessible. As such, users
(students) can switch between the original document contents and the dis-
played assignment.
6.5 Auto-Execute
An execution group is a grouping of Maple input with its corresponding
Maple output. It is distinguished by a large square bracket, called a group
boundary, at the left. An execution group may also contain any or all of the
following: a plot, a spreadsheet, and text.
Execution groups are the fundamental computation and documentation ele-
ments in the document. If you place the cursor in an input command and
press the Enter or Return key, Maple executes all of the input commands
in the current execution group.
