Sorry Neil,

you are right, the lines I am refering to are in aim/try/Quiz.mpl, not in
aim/try/Question.mpl as I had incorrectly written in my message.

The template in aim/try/Quiz.mpl currently starts with

 ['Template',
  [["a", "name" = "top"]],
  ["center",
   ["h1",
    __("Testing quiz: "),{"quiztitle"}]],
  ["table",
   ["tr",
    ["td",["b",__("Subject: ")]],
    ["td",{"subjecttitle"}]],
   ["tr",
    ["td",["b",__("Seed: ")]],
    ["td",
     [["inputtext",
      "name" = "QuestionSeed",
      "value" = {"QuestionSeed"},
      "onchange" = "seedchanged=true;"]]]]],

The lines at the bottom correspond to the Seed input box at the top of the
try quiz page. Shouldn't that box set the QuizSeed rather than the
QuestionSeed?

[Aimmath-developers] rules of precedence

[Manolis M. <M.M...@ed...>]

Hi there...

   has anyone implemented a functionalitty in AIM (or MAPLE for that 
matter) that could predict what went wrong when a student was evaluating 
an expression like 7 - 5X3/2^2 i.e. to feedback to students what rule 
they didn't follow ? Or is there something similar that I could extend ?

Thanks,

Manolis

Sorry for introducing that bug. I have removed it now.
