CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The student evaluation at the end of a study usually comprises all discussed subjects like English Language, mathematics, Economics, Physics and chemistry etc, a practical idea is to create a multiple choice examination system. The practice is prevalent because multiple-choice examinations provide a relative easy way to test students on a large number of topics. More, for large number of students, a classical evaluation system (written evaluation) consumes a considerable amount of time.
When evaluation does not take place in the same time for all students, the multiple-choice questions tests must be regenerated in order to avoid learning of answers.
The main aspects of generating multiple choice tests, such as classification system, database design and software implementation of a multiple choice examination system for general subjects were discussed in this project work.
Even if the multiple-choice examination is made on paper, it takes a considerable amount of time with evaluation. A better idea is to make an online interface for evaluation.
By using of a database server features, an online testing system that generate tests with 50 multiple choice examination items for general subject.
As most nations of the world are becoming information technology inclined, Nigeria is not left behind. Even as most organizations and companies in the foreign countries have implemented information technology in their films, likewise most of Nigeria’s organizations and companies have also enjoyed the benefits of information technology.
Even as most foreign countries like America, China and India are experiencing information technology boom, Nigeria is yet to come to such level. With the communication satellite launched recently in our country will explore the hidden treasure of information technology.
As I consider the design and implementation of computerized multiple choice examination evaluation system, it is necessary to mention here that information technology have a lot to play in achieving this. Implementing computerized multiple choice examination evaluation system entails having access to computers, having a website and the place of strong and reliable database can not be over emphasized.
