  • Abstract
    Conventional e-assessment systems often are not suited for examining mathematical calculations or proofs, and the few existing ones have very limited functionality. On this account we have developed the e-assessment system EASy which focuses on mathematical proofs. As we are not aware of any documented experiences concerning the applicability, usability and acceptance of a corresponding system for students and tutors, we have evaluated EASy in a lecture on data structures and algorithms with more than 200 students.
