Many of those questions are Hewitt's, but I think an ancillary author was also brought in at some point.<BR/><BR/>And as far as the publisher and test-generating software go, that's a carousel of seemingly perpetual motion.<BR/><BR/>Conceptual Physics (10/e College) is published by Addison Wesley and I don't know what they're offering for test generation. I presume it's ExamView at this point.<BR/><BR/>Conceptual Physics (2009 High School) is published by Prentice Hall and does use ExamView for it's electronically published test bank. I know TestGen was the test generating software that Addison Wesley distributed when they published the HS CP back in the 1980s.<BR/><BR/>When I looked around for test generating software recently, it seemed like ExamView was becoming a widely-adopted standard. During this year's physics adoption, most publishers we came across offered their banks in ExamView format.Dean Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681829220589441713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31189917.post-79382769889832294712008-05-25T18:25:00.000-07:002008-05-25T18:25:00.000-07:00Do you know whether Hewitt wrote or influenced the...Do you know whether Hewitt wrote or influenced the multiple choice questions offered by the Conceptual Physics publisher's (Addison Wesley) test generation software (TestGen)? I have used this program in the past and have found its questions to be quite solid. Once you register as a teacher on the site, you can download the Testgen software, which make it very easy to drag and drop questions into a test, and a set of questions referenced by chapter (called a Testbank) specifically for Conceptual PhysicsBob Bessinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09862424030741373570noreply@blogger.com
