probsoln – Generate problem sheets and their solution sheets
The package is designed for lecturers who have to
generate new problem sheets for their students on a regular basis
(e.g. yearly) by randomly selecting a specified number of problems
defined in another file.
The package allows you easily to generate a new problem sheet that
is different from the previous year, thus alleviating the
temptation of students to seek out the previous year's students
and checking out their answers. The solutions to the problems can
be defined along with the problem, making it easy to generate the
solution sheet from the same source code; problems may be reused
within a document, so that solutions may appear in a different
section of the same document as the problems they cover.
