Abstract
Partially-automated assessment is implemented via the ‘Printable worksheet’ mode in the Numbas e-assessment system to create a mathematical modelling worksheet which is individualised with random parameters but completed and marked as if it were a non-automated piece of coursework, preserving validity while reducing the risk of academic misconduct via copying and collusion. A simple modelling scenario is used for this demonstration. A cylindrical tank of water is draining through a small hole in its base, with the size of the tank, size of the hole and initial volume of water randomised so that the details are different for each student. Students are guided through deriving a model of the movement of water out of their version of the tank, asked to compute the expected time for it to empty and asked to discuss some aspects of the model and their findings in a discursive narrative report.
