  • Abstract
    In this paper we concentrate on the field of mathematics education where the aim is to generate exercises going beyond those with answers of simple types (e.g. multiple-choice, Boolean, integer, or file comparison). We present three examples from introductory college mathematics and emphasize the key points that should be taken into account in order to develop a “well-posed” exercise together with its verification. All the presented examples were implemented in the system PASSAROLA.
