Snapshot 3

Lunchtime another day...


Y: Hello, is this seat open?
FT: Yes, have a seat. You know, I finally finished that quiz program I showed you the other day.
Y: Really?
FT: It still needs improvement, but the basic parts are working. Now, when I need a new quiz, I can just copy the program and change the text for the questions.
Y: That must save you a lot of time.
FT: I'm not sure, but probably yes. It used to take me 7-8 hours to do one paper quiz in my classes.
Y: Seven to eight hours?!
FT: With a few hundred students, it takes about that long to write a quiz, print enough copies, do the quiz in multiple classes, grade them, record the scores, and return them to students.
Y: Incredible.
