Version History =============== Version 2.4.1 (2017-08-30) -------------------------- ### Updates ### * Added a little more detail to the automatically generated instructions for embargoed exams. Version 2.4 (2016-08-27) ------------------------ ### New features ### * Key-value options for the `examsection`, `question`, `subquestion`, and `subsubquestion` environments. These let you control things like whether marks and section titles are printed, and whether or not to compute and verify marks totals for sub-components of sections and questions. * A `\questionskip` length to let you adjust the spacing between top-level questions. * Optional questions—e.g., answer any three of five, where each question is worth 20 marks each, for a total of 60—freaked out the automatic total verification. The totalling can now be disabled for a section using the `don't verify total` option (see above). * Added new `embargo` class option for embargoed exam papers, which have somewhat different title page formatting requirements. ### Fixes ### * The various question environments must now be correctly nested (i.e., sub-sub-questions within sub-questions within questions). [Stephen Cranefield] * The `draft` class option now has the full functionality you would expect (change bars, etc.). * Disabled the `twocolumn` class option. * Obsoleted the `\newsection` macro, which has been deprecated for ten years! * `ouexam` was incompatible with the `hyperref` package. Fixed. [Mark George] * Float pages on the last page of the document messed up both the page count and the “TURN OVER”/“END” sequencing. Fixed. (Also removed the `lastpage` page style as part of this fix.) [Stephen Cranefield] * Fixed bug that caused a crash when there was a `verbatim` environment followed by a blank line at the end of a question. [Mark George] * Updated to latest 2016 calculator rules. Version 2.3.1 (2014-09-15) -------------------------- * Removed “Paper” from the title box to conform to University standards. Version 2.3 (2012-09-04) ------------------------ * Updated exam paper formatting to conform to latest University standards. * Added `times` class option. * Disabled `10pt` and `11pt` class options. * `ouexam` now requires the `fontenc`, `textcomp` and `lmodern` packages. * Generating the class documentation now requires PDFLaTeX. Version 2.2 (2010-04-26) ------------------------ * Added time allocation macros. Version 2.1.3 (2009-04-28) -------------------------- * Changed the defaults for `\material`, `\copiesof` and `\otherinstructions` to “N/A”. * Fixed vertical spacing of title page. Version 2.1.2 (2008-08-14) -------------------------- * The “subject to inspection” messages that appear in the calculators and permitted material sections of the title page now only appear when calculators are allowed or there actually is additional permitted material, respectively. Version 2.1.1 (2006-08-21) -------------------------- * “END” is now printed at the bottom of the last page of the exam. Version 2.1 (2004-04-16) ------------------------ * Updated the calculators macro to conform to the new University calculator regulations. `\allowcalculators` now has an optional argument to specify the kinds of calculators permitted. * `\permitcalculators` has been added as a synonym for `\allowcalculators`. * Removed the `\marks` macro because it conflicts with a macro in e-TeX.

Fixed. * Added the ability to specify “FY” (full-year) as a semester type in the `\semester` macro. Version 2.0.1 (2002-04-30) -------------------------- * There was a bug in the definition of the macros for numbering sub-sub-questions that meant they were numbered as “(a)” instead of the correct “(i)”. Fixed. * When referencing sub-questions or sub-sub-questions, the entire question number was included (that is, “1(b)(iii)” instead of just “(iii)”). This made it difficult to sensibly reference these items, so the relevant macros have been changed to omit this prefixed information. References to questions now print as “1”, sub-questions as “(b)” and sub-sub-questions as “(iii)”. If this does not suit your requirements, change the `\labelquestion`, `\labelsubquestion` or `\labelsubsubquestion` macros. Version 2.0 (2002-01-30) ------------------------ A complete rewrite from scratch. This version is not backwards compatible with earlier versions! However, the class will detect attempts to use obsolete features. * Added `draft` and `markingschedule` class options. * Added checking for the correct number of marks. * Added support for summer school exams. * Fixed headers so that the page number is always centered. * Removed `multichoice` class option and all associated macros and environments. * Disabled `twoside` class option, as exam papers are always printed single-sided. Version 1.2 (2000-04-14) ------------------------ * Added support for marking schedule information.

--------------------------

### Updates ###

* Added a little more detail to the automatically generated instructions for
  embargoed exams.

Version 2.4 (2016-08-27)
------------------------

### New features ###

* Key-value options for the `examsection`, `question`, `subquestion`, and
  `subsubquestion` environments. These let you control things like whether
  marks and section titles are printed, and whether or not to compute and
  verify marks totals for sub-components of sections and questions.

* A `\questionskip` length to let you adjust the spacing between top-level
  questions.

* Optional questions—e.g., answer any three of five, where each question is
  worth 20 marks each, for a total of 60—freaked out the automatic total
  verification. The totalling can now be disabled for a section using the
  `don't verify total` option (see above).

* Added new `embargo` class option for embargoed exam papers, which have
  somewhat different title page formatting requirements.

### Fixes ###

ouexam v2.4.1 ============= ouexam document class v2.4.1, 30 August 2017 Copyright 1999–2017 Nigel Stanger and University of Otago This LaTeX2ε document class enables the production of University of Otago formatted examination papers. It handles all the fiddly layout requirements (such as printing “TURN OVER” at the bottom of every page except the last), and also ensures that the actual number of marks for questions in the examination add up to the expected number of marks. Requirements ------------ You will need the `verbatim`, `fontenc`, `textcomp`, `lmodern`, and `pgfkeys` packages in order to use `ouexam`. These should all come standard with most TeX installations. To build the documentation and example files, you will need `graphicx`, `hyperref`, at least version 1.1 of the `listings` package, and the `pdfjam` tool. Installing ---------- To install the easy way: 1 Unpack the distribution archive and `cd` to the distribution directory. 2 `make` 3 `make install TEXMFHOME=/path/to/texmf`. `/path/to/texmf` should be the root of your preferred texmf tree (e.g., `/usr/share/texmf`). You may need to do this as root depending on which texmf tree you are installing into. You can also define `TEXMFHOME` as an environment variable then simply type make install. To install manually, unpack the distribution archive, cd to the distribution directory, and do the following (now you know why there’s a Makefile ☺). % latex ouexam.ins % pdflatex example1.tex % pdflatex example1.tex % pdfjam --outfile eg1-1.pdf example1.pdf 1 % pdfjam --outfile eg1-2.pdf example1.pdf 2 % pdfjam --outfile eg1-3.pdf example1.pdf 3 % pdflatex example2.tex % pdflatex example2.tex % pdfjam --outfile eg2-1.pdf example2.pdf 1 % pdfjam --outfile eg2-2.pdf example2.pdf 2 % pdfjam --outfile eg2-3.pdf example2.pdf 3 % pdfjam --outfile eg2-4.pdf example2.pdf 4 % pdflatex ouexam.dtx % pdflatex ouexam.dtx % pdflatex ouexam.dtx Put `ouexam.cls` in `/path/to/texmf/tex/latex/ouexam`. Put `eg.pdf`, `ouexam.pdf`, `ouexam.dtx`, `ouexam.ins`, `HISTORY`, `MANIFEST`, `README` and `TODO` in `/path/to/texmf/doc/latex/ouexam`. Put `Create.pdf`, `example.tex`, `example.pdf` and `lstlang0.sty` in `/path/to/texmf/doc/latex/ouexam/example`. You can also build the examples using GUI tools such as TeXMaker, TeXShop, etc. (but see the FAQ below). FAQ --- ### The number of marks for my questions are not appearing at the end of the line even though there is plenty of room for them to fit. ### You probably have a blank line between the end of your question text and the `\end{question}` macro that actually generates the number of marks. The line break gets processed by TeX before the number of marks is generated and effectively generates a new paragraph. Until I figure out how to stop this from happening, the workaround is to not leave blank lines between the end of the question text and the `\end{question}`. ### I fixed that, but there’s still vertical space between the end of my question and the number of marks. ### This is almost certainly because the question text ends with a list-based environment of some sort (including `itemize`, `enumerate`, `description`, `list`, `quote`, `quotation`, `center`, `flushleft`, and `flushright`). I’m not convinced that this can be fixed in a general way, but a workaround is to subtract a negative multiple of `\lastskip` immediately before the `\end{question}` (or whatever), e.g., `\vskip-2\lastskip`. -2 is about right if you want the marks to appear on the line following the question text, while -4.75 is about right if you want the marks to be aligned with the final line of the question text. ### Why can’t I build content.tex? ### `content.tex` is an include file for both `example1.tex` and `example2.tex`. It doesn’t have a `\documentclass` and you therefore can’t `pdflatex` it! The only input files you should be building are `example1.tex` and `example2.tex`. ouexam v2.4 =========== ouexam document class v2.4, 27 August 2016 Copyright 1999–2016 Nigel Stanger and University of Otago This LaTeX2ε document class enables the production of University of Otago formatted examination papers.

You will need the `verbatim`, `fontenc`, `textcomp`, `lmodern`, and `pgfkeys` packages in order to use `ouexam`. These should all come standard with most TeX installations. To build the documentation and example files, you will need `graphicx`, `hyperref`, at least version 1.1 of the `listings` package, and the `pdfjam` tool.

Installing
----------

To install the easy way:

1 Unpack the distribution archive and `cd` to the distribution directory.

2 `make`

3 `make install TEXMFHOME=/path/to/texmf`.
  `/path/to/texmf` should be the root of your preferred texmf tree
  (e.g., `/usr/share/texmf`). You may need to do this as root
  depending on which texmf tree you are installing into. You can
  also define `TEXMFHOME` as an environment variable then simply
  type make install.

To install manually, unpack the distribution archive, cd to the distribution directory, and do the following (now you know why there’s a Makefile ☺).

% latex ouexam.ins
	% pdflatex example1.tex
	% pdflatex example1.tex
	% pdfjam --outfile eg1-1.pdf example1.pdf 1
	% pdfjam --outfile eg1-2.pdf example1.pdf 2
	% pdfjam --outfile eg1-3.pdf example1.pdf 3
	% pdflatex example2.tex
	% pdflatex example2.tex
	% pdfjam --outfile eg2-1.pdf example2.pdf 1
	% pdfjam --outfile eg2-2.pdf example2.pdf 2
	% pdfjam --outfile eg2-3.pdf example2.pdf 3
	% pdfjam --outfile eg2-4.pdf example2.pdf 4
	% pdflatex ouexam.dtx
	% pdflatex ouexam.dtx
	% pdflatex ouexam.dtx

Put `ouexam.cls` in `/path/to/texmf/tex/latex/ouexam`.

Put `eg*.pdf`, `ouexam.pdf`, `ouexam.dtx`, `ouexam.ins`, `HISTORY`, `MANIFEST`, `README` and `TODO` in `/path/to/texmf/doc/latex/ouexam`.

Put `Create*.pdf`, `example*.tex`, `example*.pdf` and `lstlang0.sty` in `/path/to/texmf/doc/latex/ouexam/example`.

You can also build the examples using GUI tools such as TeXMaker, TeXShop, etc. (but see the FAQ below).

FAQ

### The number of marks for my questions are not appearing at the end of the line even though there is plenty of room for them to fit. ###

You probably have a blank line between the end of your question text and the `\end{question}` macro that actually generates the number of marks. The line break gets processed by TeX before the number of marks is generated and effectively generates a new paragraph. Until I figure out how to stop this from happening, the workaround is to not leave blank lines between the end of the question text and the `\end{question}`.

### I fixed that, but there’s still vertical space between the end of my question and the number of marks. ###

This is almost certainly because the question text ends with a list-based environment of some sort (including `itemize`, `enumerate`, `description`, `list`, `quote`, `quotation`, `center`, `flushleft`, and `flushright`). I’m not convinced that this can be fixed in a general way, but a workaround is to subtract a negative multiple of `\lastskip` immediately before the `\end{question}` (or whatever), e.g., `\vskip-2\lastskip`. -2 is about right if you want the marks to appear on the line following the question text, while -4.75 is about right if you want the marks to be aligned with the final line of the question text.

### Why can’t I build content.tex? ###

`content.tex` is an include file for both `example1.tex` and `example2.tex`. It doesn’t have a `\documentclass` and you therefore *can’t* `pdflatex` it! The only input files you should be building are `example1.tex` and `example2.tex`.

To build % the documentation and example files, you will need at least version 1.1 % of the \textsf{listings} package, and the \textsf{pdfjam} tool. % % Installation is relatively simple: % \begin{enumerate} % % \item Unpack the distribution archive and \texttt{cd} to the % distribution directory. % % \item \texttt{make}. % % \item \texttt{make install TEXMF\_INSTALL=/path/to/texmf}. % \texttt{/path/to/texmf} should be the root of your preferred % \texttt{texmf} tree (e.g., \texttt{/usr/share/texmf}). You may need % to do this as root depending on which \texttt{texmf} tree you are % installing into. You can also define \texttt{TEXMF\_INSTALL} as an % environment variable then simply type \texttt{make install}. % % \end{enumerate} % You can, of course, always install manually if you wish. % % % \changes{2.0}{2002/01/11}{NJS Added note on backwards compatibility.} % \subsection{Important note on backwards compatibility} % % Version 2.0 of \textsf{ouexam} introduced several major changes from earlier % versions. Consequently, documents created using an earlier version of % \textsf{ouexam} are \emph{incompatible} with version 2.0 or later. Versions 2.0 % and greater of \textsf{ouexam} will detect attempts to process a version 1.x % document and display an error message. % % The older version (1.2) is still available and can be downloaded from the same % location as the current version. To process older version documents, just copy % the version 1.2 \|ouexam.cls\| file into the same directory as the document file. % \TeX\ searches the current directory first, so this copy will take precedence % over any other installed version of \textsf{ouexam}. % % % \subsection{Class options} % % This document class is based on the \textsf{article} class and accepts % most of the options accepted by \textsf{article} (the \textsf{twoside}, % \textsf{10pt} and \textsf{11pt} options are ignored). The standard % options are \textsf{onecolumn}, \textsf{oneside}, \textsf{a4paper} and % \textsf{12pt}. In addition, \textsf{ouexam} accepts the following % ``native'' class options: % \begin{description} % \item[\textsf{draft}] \DescribeMacro{draft} This option has the usual % effects that you would expect for \textsf{draft} mode in the % \textsf{article} class, plus \fbox{DRAFT} is printed in % the footer of every page. Note that if you use the \textsf{graphicx} % package and turn on the \textsf{draft} option in \textsf{ouexam}, all % included graphics will be drawn in draft mode unless you specify the % \|draft=false\| option to \cs{includegraphics}. % % \item[\textsf{markingschedule}] \DescribeMacro{markingschedule} % Rather than write a separate marking schedule for an examination paper, you % can use the \textsf{marking} environment to embed marking information % within questions (see % \hyperref[Sec:Questions:Marking]{section~\ref{Sec:Questions:Marking}}). % By default this information is not printed (for obvious reasons!), but % when it comes time to print a marking schedule for the examination, % including the \textsf{markingschedule} class option in the % \cs{usepackage} command will cause \textsf{ouexam} to print the hidden % content. It will also print \fbox{MARKING SCHEDULE} in the header of % every page. % % \item[\textsf{times}] \DescribeMacro{times} % The Examinations Office prefers all examination papers to be set in 12pt % Palatino. However, if this is not available, they will accept 13pt Times % instead. The \textsf{times} class option enables the latter, but should % only be used if Palatino is not available. % % \item[\textsf{embargo}] \DescribeMacro{embargo} % Specify this option if the examination paper is to be embargoed. This will add a field for the candidate to enter their student ID in the top right of the title page, and automatically insert an instruction under ``other instructions'' to hand in the entire examination paper. % \end{description} % % % \subsection{Required packages} % % This class requires the \textsf{verbatim} package in order to implement % the marking schedule functionality. It also expects modern \LaTeX\ font % handling capabilities, and therefore requires the \textsf{fontenc}, % \textsf{textcomp} and \textsf{lmodern} classes. \textsf{pgfkeys} is used % for key-value option handling. % % % \subsection{Page margins} % % This class assumes A4 paper. You will probably get weird results if you try % to do anything different. The margins are set up as follows: top and bottom % 2cm (headers and footers are inside this margin), left and right 2.54cm (1in). % % % \changes{2.1.1}{2006/08/21}{NJS Updated \textsf{lastpage} style to display % ``\textbf{END}''.} % \subsection{Page styles} % % There are two page styles defined in this class: % \begin{description} % \item[\textsf{plain}] \DescribeMacro{plain} This is a slight modification of the \textsf{plain} page style from \textsf{article}. It produces pages that have the page number centered at the bottom, the paper number in the top right corner and the text ``\textbf{TURN OVER}'' in the bottom right of every page except the last page, which has ``\textbf{END}'' instead. This is the default page style. % % \item[\textsf{titlepage}] \DescribeMacro{titlepage} This is similar to \textsf{plain} but without the page header, and is used for the title page of the paper.

This is analogous to the process you use % to generate the title of a document in, for example, the \textsf{article} class % (using \cs{title}, \cs{author}, \cs{date} and \cs{maketitle}). That is, you % issue the macros described below in the document preamble, then issue a % \cs{maketitlepage} in the document body. % % The \DescribeMacro{\examyear} \cs{examyear} macro lets you specify the year % in which the examination is being held, for example, \|\examyear{2016}\|. This % macro is mandatory. % % The \DescribeMacro{\department} \cs{department} macro lets you specify the % name of the department that produced the examination paper, for example, % \|\department{Information\| \|Science}\|. This macro is mandatory. % % The \DescribeMacro{\papernumber} \cs{papernumber} macro lets you specify % the paper number that the examination is for, for example, % \|\papernumber{COMP 101}\|. This macro is mandatory. Note that when you % specify semester information using \cs{semester}, this is appended to % the paper number in the page header. For example, if you specify % \|\papernumber{COMP 101}\| and \|\semester{2}\|, the header will contain % ``COMP 101 (Semester Two)'' rather than just ``COMP 101''. % % The \DescribeMacro{\papertitle} \cs{papertitle} macro lets you specify the % title of the paper, for example, % \|\papertitle{Systems Analysis and Design Methods}\|. This macro is mandatory. % % \changes{2.0.2}{2002/08/22}{NJS Added `FY' to the \cs{semester} macro % description.} % Some papers are offered in more than one semester. The % \DescribeMacro{\semester} \cs{semester} macro lets you specify which % semester the examination is for.

This macro % is optional. Note that the content of the instructions can be just about % anything. It is up to you to control formatting, such as how you want lines % broken, etc. This also true of the \cs{material}, \cs{copiesof} and % \cs{otherinstructions} macros described below. % % The \DescribeMacro{\material} \cs{material} macro lets you specify any % additional material that candidates are provided in addition to the % examination paper itself, for example, \|\material{SQL schema definition}\|. % This macro is optional. % % The \DescribeMacro{\copiesof} \cs{copiesof} macro lets you specify any % material that candidates are allowed to bring into the examination, for % example, \|\copiesof{McFadden \&\| \|Hoffer, 5th edition}\|.

The title % page generated meets University formatting requirements. % Note that the number of pages in the examination paper is generated % and inserted into the title page automatically---you do not need to specify % it manually. % % % \subsection{Sections} % \label{Sec:Sections} % % Examination papers may optionally have multiple sections, ``numbered'' A, B, etc. Rather than redefine the existing \LaTeX\ section macros, \textsf{ouexam} defines an \DescribeEnv{examsection} \textsf{examsection} environment that generates a new section. The \textsf{examsection} environment has three mandatory arguments: % \begin{enumerate} % \item The expected number of marks for the question. If you leave this argument empty it defaults to zero. By default, \textsf{ouexam} keeps a running total of the \emph{actual} number of marks encountered within a section, which is compared with the value of this argument when the environment is closed (use the \textsf{don't verify total} option to disable this; see below). An error is raised if the values are not equal. The running total is also typeset right-justified at the end of the section in the form ``\textbf{[SECTION A TOTAL 20 MARKS]}'' (unless the \textsf{hide total} option is specified; see below) as an additional verification (or just ``\textbf{[TOTAL 20 MARKS]}'' if the \textsf{hide title} option is specifed; see below). % % \item Instructions for answering questions in this section, such as ``\textbf{ANSWER ANY \underline{TWO} QUESTIONS.}''. The argument will be typeset in \textbf{bold face}. If you leave this argument empty it defaults to ``\textbf{ANSWER \underline{ALL} QUESTIONS (TOTAL xx MARKS).}'' (the marks total is omitted if it is zero or if the \textsf{hide total} option is specified; see below). % % \item A description of the topic of the section (this could also be used to provide further, more detailed instructions). This can be left empty. % \end{enumerate} % % The optional argument to \textsf{examsection} is a list of option keywords that control its behaviour. The available options are: % \begin{description} % \item[\textsf{show title}] \DescribeMacro{show title}\DescribeMacro{hide title} Print the title of the section (enabled by default). Specify \textsf{hide title} to suppress this. % % \item[\textsf{show total}] \DescribeMacro{show total}\DescribeMacro{hide total} Print a summary at the end of the section of the number of marks in the section (enabled by default).

For example: \\ % % \noindent\|\begin{examsection}{25}{}{These questions are remarkably boring.}\| \\ % \hspace{1cm}\vdots \\ % \|\end{examsection}\| \\ % % \noindent will produce the following (assuming that the actual number of % marks in the question is correct): % % \begin{center} % \fbox{% % \begin{minipage}{0.9\columnwidth} % {\large\noindent\textbf{\underline{Section~A}}} \\[0.5\baselineskip] % \textbf{ANSWER \underline{ALL} QUESTIONS (TOTAL 25 MARKS).} \\ % These questions are remarkably boring. \\ % \hspace{2cm}\vdots \\ % \mbox{}\hfill\textbf{[SECTION A TOTAL 25 MARKS]} % \end{minipage} % } % \end{center} % % \noindent whereas \|\begin{examsection}[hide title]{25}{}{...}\| will produce: % % \begin{center} % \fbox{% % \begin{minipage}{0.9\columnwidth} % \textbf{ANSWER \underline{ALL} QUESTIONS (TOTAL 25 MARKS).} \\ % These questions are remarkably boring. \\ % \hspace{2cm}\vdots \\ % \mbox{}\hfill\textbf{[TOTAL 25 MARKS]} % \end{minipage} % } % \end{center} % % % \subsection{Questions} % \label{Sec:Questions} % % \textsf{ouexam} provides three environments for building examination % questions: \DescribeEnv{question} \textsf{question}, % \DescribeEnv{subquestion} \textsf{subquestion} and \textsf{subsubquestion}, % which correspond to top-level questions, parts of questions, and % \DescribeEnv{subsubquestion} sub-parts of questions respectively. They % produce questions that are numbered according to University examination % formatting requirements. Note that questions are normally numbered % sequentially throughout the entire paper regardless of any section % boundaries. % % All three environments have a single mandatory argument which is the % expected number of marks for the question, part or sub-part. If this % argument is left empty it will default to zero (this has the side effect of % not printing the marks total at the end of the question). This argument works % in much the same way as the first argument to the \textsf{examsection} % environment (see \hyperref[Sec:Sections]{section~\ref{Sec:Sections}}): % \textsf{ouexam} keeps a running total of the number of marks encountered % within each question part and sub-part, and compares this total with the % expected value when the environment closes. Where appropriate, the running % total is typeset right-justified in the form ``(5 marks)''. For example: % \begin{verbatim} % \begin{question}{5} % \begin{subquestion}{2} % Why is the sky blue? % \end{subquestion} % \begin{subquestion}{3} % Explain in detail how the sky can be made pink. % \end{subquestion} % \end{question} % \begin{question}{1} % Define the term ``floccinaucinihilipilification''. % \end{question} % \end{verbatim} % % \noindent will produce the following: % \begin{center} % \fbox{% % \begin{minipage}{0.9\columnwidth} % \begin{enumerate} % \item % \begin{enumerate} % \item Why is the sky blue? \hfill (2 marks) % % \item Explain in detail how the sky can be made pink. \hfill (3 % marks) % \end{enumerate} % % \item Define the term ``floccinaucinihilipilification''. \hfill (1 % mark) % \end{enumerate} % \end{minipage} % } % \end{center} % % The \textsf{question} environments handle formatting of marks totals % automatically, including considerations such as: % \begin{itemize} % \item whether or not to print the number of marks for a question at all (they should not be printed if the question has sub-parts, and will also not be printed if the number of marks is zero, or if the \textsf{hide marks} option is specified; see below); % % \item whether to print ``mark'' or ``marks'' (e.g., question 2 above); and % % \item where to position the number of marks relative to the question, % depending on how full the last line of the question is. % \end{itemize} % % The optional argument to the various \textsf{question} environments is a list of option keywords that control its behaviour.

See the example files % that came with the \textsf{ouexam} distribution for an example of this % approach in action. % % % \subsection{Miscellaneous} % % Most examinations are marked out of 100, and \textsf{ouexam} defaults to % this. However, if you want an examination that is marked out of some other % number, for example, 90 marks, you can specify this using the % \DescribeMacro{\examoutof} \cs{examoutof} macro. Thus, \|\examoutof{90}\| % will set the expected number of marks for the examination to 90. This value % is used by \textsf{ouexam} to verify that the marks for all the questions % add up to the expected number of marks for the examination. % % % \section{Errors and warnings} % % In this section are described the error messages and warning produced by % \textsf{ouexam}, and the reasons why they occur. % % % \subsection{Error messages} % % \noindent\texttt{OBSOLETE (\ldots): this document was written for an % earlier} \\ % \texttt{version of ouexam \ldots} \\ % You are trying to use v2.0 or later of \textsf{ouexam} with a document that was written for \textsf{ouexam} v1.2 or earlier.

Group~1 % queries only inactive customers, group~2 queries only bronze status % customers and groups~3 and~4 both query only silver and gold status % customers. Members of any group may query the table at any time and % queries often overlap. % % \item UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE operations on the table are uncommon. % % \item Very few queries are for individual customers; rather, most % queries are based on various combinations of values from % \textsf{status}, \textsf{city}, \textsf{state} and \textsf{country}. % \end{itemize}\medskip % % \begin{subquestion}{3} % Describe and justify an \emph{index-based} physical tuning solution % that will improve the performance of queries on the \textsf{Customer} % table. (No code is required.) % \begin{marking} % Since queries tend to be on combinations of several low-cardinality % columns [1] and the table is very large [1], the most effective % solution would be to place bitmap indexes on status, city, state and % country [1]. % % B-tree indexes on any of the individual columns would not be ideal % because of their low cardinality. A possible alternative is a % composite B-tree index on all four columns [1 for suggesting this if % appropriate], but this is not ideal and would be much larger than % the four bitmap indexes [1 for this explanation if appropriate]. % Hashing is definitely \emph{not} an option, because very few queries % are exact match. % \end{marking} % \end{subquestion} % % \begin{subquestion}{7} % \begin{subsubquestion}{5}\label{nonindex} % Assuming that there are two identical fast disks available, describe % and justify two alternative \emph{non index-based} physical tuning % solutions that will improve the performance of queries on the % \textsf{Customer} table. For each solution include details of how % the two disks will be used. (No code is required.) % \begin{marking} % Alternative 1: partition the table across the two disks based on % status (four partitions, one for each status value) [1]. This will % allow simultaneous parallel access to different parts of the table % by the different groups [1]. Since two groups both access silver % and gold customers, it makes sense to put the silver customers on % disk one and the gold customers on disk two. Bronze customers % account for 50\% of the table, so it makes sense to also put them % on disk two (as the gold customers are the smallest group), and % put the inactive customers on disk one with the silver customers. % [1 for any sensible partitioning scheme] % % Alternative 2: replicate the table across both disks (one replica % on each disk) [1]. This will also provide simultaneous parallel % access to the data (hard to tell whether this would be better or % worse than the partitioning above) [1]. % % Note that any solution must be capable of being implemented in % Oracle8. % \end{marking} % \end{subsubquestion} % % \begin{subsubquestion}{2} % Briefly discuss the relative advantages and/or disadvantages of the % two alternative solutions you described in part~(\ref{nonindex}) % above. % \begin{marking} % The partitioning solution given above doesn't really help with the % bronze customer rows---we would need random horizontal % partitioning to really help with this, which Oracle8 doesn't % support. More generally, Oracle8 does not migrate rows into the % correct partition if a customer's status changes, so the data will % need to be reloaded occasionally [1]. % % For replication, we have the usual problem of keeping the replicas % synchronised if they are both read/write. This is somewhat % mitigated by the fact that there are only two copies [1]. % \end{marking} % \end{subsubquestion} % \end{subquestion} % \end{question} % % \newpage % \begin{question}{10} % There are two generic parameters that affect the structure of a B-tree % index. % % \begin{subquestion}{6} % Identify these two parameters and describe what each parameter % specifies.

It implements the major formatting % requirements specified by the University, provides useful % macros to ease the process of building the title page and automatically % deals with fiddly little issues such as question and section numbering, % the number of pages in the paper, printing ``\textbf{TURN OVER}'' in the % bottom right corner of every page except the last one and ensuring that the % total number of marks for a question adds up to the expected number. % \end{abstract} % % % \tableofcontents % % % \section{Overview} % % \changes{2.1}{2004/04/10}{NJS Added requirements and installation instructions.} % \changes{2.3}{2012/09/04}{NJS Dropped vanilla \LaTeX\ for building docs.} % \subsection{Requirements and installation} % % The \textsf{ouexam} package requires the \textsf{verbatim}, % \textsf{fontenc}, \textsf{lmodern} and \textsf{textcomp} packages, all % of which should come standard with most \TeX\ installations. To build % the documentation and example files, you will need at least version 1.1 % of the \textsf{listings} package, and the \textsf{pdfjam} tool. % % Installation is relatively simple: % \begin{enumerate} % % \item Unpack the distribution archive and \texttt{cd} to the % distribution directory. % % \item \texttt{make}. % % \item \texttt{make install TEXMF\_INSTALL=/path/to/texmf}. % \texttt{/path/to/texmf} should be the root of your preferred % \texttt{texmf} tree (e.g., \texttt{/usr/share/texmf}). You may need % to do this as root depending on which \texttt{texmf} tree you are % installing into. You can also define \texttt{TEXMF\_INSTALL} as an % environment variable then simply type \texttt{make install}. % % \end{enumerate} % You can, of course, always install manually if you wish. % % % \changes{2.0}{2002/01/11}{NJS Added note on backwards compatibility.} % \subsection{Important note on backwards compatibility} % % Version 2.0 of \textsf{ouexam} introduced several major changes from earlier % versions. Consequently, documents created using an earlier version of % \textsf{ouexam} are \emph{incompatible} with version 2.0 or later. Versions 2.0 % and greater of \textsf{ouexam} will detect attempts to process a version 1.x % document and display an error message. % % The older version (1.2) is still available and can be downloaded from the same % location as the current version. To process older version documents, just copy % the version 1.2 \|ouexam.cls\| file into the same directory as the document file. % \TeX\ searches the current directory first, so this copy will take precedence % over any other installed version of \textsf{ouexam}. % % % \subsection{Class options} % % This document class is based on the \textsf{article} class and accepts % most of the options accepted by \textsf{article} (the \textsf{twoside}, % \textsf{10pt} and \textsf{11pt} options are ignored). The standard % options are \textsf{onecolumn}, \textsf{oneside}, \textsf{a4paper} and % \textsf{12pt}. In addition, \textsf{ouexam} accepts the following % ``native'' class options: % \begin{description} % \item[\textsf{draft}] \DescribeMacro{draft} This option has the usual % effects that you would expect for \textsf{draft} mode in the % \textsf{article} class, plus \fbox{DRAFT} is printed in % the footer of every page. Note that if you use the \textsf{graphicx} % package and turn on the \textsf{draft} option in \textsf{ouexam}, all % included graphics will be drawn in draft mode unless you specify the % \|draft=false\| option to \cs{includegraphics}. % % \item[\textsf{markingschedule}] \DescribeMacro{markingschedule} % Rather than write a separate marking schedule for an examination paper, you % can use the \textsf{marking} environment to embed marking information % within questions (see % \hyperref[Sec:Questions:Marking]{section~\ref{Sec:Questions:Marking}}). % By default this information is not printed (for obvious reasons!), but % when it comes time to print a marking schedule for the examination, % including the \textsf{markingschedule} class option in the % \cs{usepackage} command will cause \textsf{ouexam} to print the hidden % content. It will also print \fbox{MARKING SCHEDULE} in the header of % every page. % % \item[\textsf{times}] \DescribeMacro{times} % The Examinations Office prefers all examination papers to be set in 12pt % Palatino. However, if this is not available, they will accept 13pt Times % instead. The \textsf{times} class option enables the latter, but should % only be used if Palatino is not available. % % \item[\textsf{embargo}] \DescribeMacro{embargo} % Specify this option if the examination paper is to be embargoed. This will add a field for the candidate to enter their student ID in the top right of the title page, and automatically insert an instruction under ``other instructions'' to hand in the entire examination paper. % \end{description} % % % \subsection{Required packages} % % This class requires the \textsf{verbatim} package in order to implement % the marking schedule functionality. It also expects modern \LaTeX\ font % handling capabilities, and therefore requires the \textsf{fontenc}, % \textsf{textcomp} and \textsf{lmodern} classes. \textsf{pgfkeys} is used % for key-value option handling. % % % \subsection{Page margins} % % This class assumes A4 paper. You will probably get weird results if you try % to do anything different. The margins are set up as follows: top and bottom % 2cm (headers and footers are inside this margin), left and right 2.54cm (1in). % % % \changes{2.1.1}{2006/08/21}{NJS Updated \textsf{lastpage} style to display % ``\textbf{END}''.} % \subsection{Page styles} % % There are two page styles defined in this class: % \begin{description} % \item[\textsf{plain}] \DescribeMacro{plain} This is a slight modification of the \textsf{plain} page style from \textsf{article}. It produces pages that have the page number centered at the bottom, the paper number in the top right corner and the text ``\textbf{TURN OVER}'' in the bottom right of every page except the last page, which has ``\textbf{END}'' instead. This is the default page style. % % \item[\textsf{titlepage}] \DescribeMacro{titlepage} This is similar to \textsf{plain} but without the page header, and is used for the title page of the paper. You will normally not use this yourself, because the \cs{maketitlepage} macro handles this automatically (see \hyperref[Sec:TitlePage]{section~\ref{Sec:TitlePage}}). % \end{description} % % % \section{Writing an examination paper} % % % \changes{2.0.2}{2002/05/11}{NJS Moved the title page subsection to the start % of this section.} % \subsection{The title page} % \label{Sec:TitlePage} % % This class defines a collection of macros that let you fill in the various % parts of the examination title page. This is analogous to the process you use % to generate the title of a document in, for example, the \textsf{article} class % (using \cs{title}, \cs{author}, \cs{date} and \cs{maketitle}). That is, you % issue the macros described below in the document preamble, then issue a % \cs{maketitlepage} in the document body. % % The \DescribeMacro{\examyear} \cs{examyear} macro lets you specify the year % in which the examination is being held, for example, \|\examyear{2016}\|. This % macro is mandatory. % % The \DescribeMacro{\department} \cs{department} macro lets you specify the % name of the department that produced the examination paper, for example, % \|\department{Information\| \|Science}\|. This macro is mandatory. % % The \DescribeMacro{\papernumber} \cs{papernumber} macro lets you specify % the paper number that the examination is for, for example, % \|\papernumber{COMP 101}\|. This macro is mandatory. Note that when you % specify semester information using \cs{semester}, this is appended to % the paper number in the page header. For example, if you specify % \|\papernumber{COMP 101}\| and \|\semester{2}\|, the header will contain % ``COMP 101 (Semester Two)'' rather than just ``COMP 101''. % % The \DescribeMacro{\papertitle} \cs{papertitle} macro lets you specify the % title of the paper, for example, % \|\papertitle{Systems Analysis and Design Methods}\|. This macro is mandatory. % % \changes{2.0.2}{2002/08/22}{NJS Added `FY' to the \cs{semester} macro % description.} % Some papers are offered in more than one semester. The % \DescribeMacro{\semester} \cs{semester} macro lets you specify which % semester the examination is for. The argument can be either ``1'' or ``2'' % for semesters 1 and 2, ``SS'' for summer school, ``FY'' for a full-year % paper or ``SP'' for a special examination, for example, \|\semester{2}\|. % Invalid values for the argument cause a warning to be raised. This macro is % optional---if you omit it, no semester information is generated. % % The \DescribeMacro{\timeallowed} \cs{timeallowed} macro lets you specify the % length of the examination in hours, for example, \|\timeallowed{2}\|. This % macro is optional---if you omit it, it defaults to three (3) hours. % % \changes{2.1}{2004/04/05}{NJS Modified \cs{allowcalculators} to conform % to the new University calculator regulations.} % \changes{2.1}{2004/04/05}{NJS Added \cs{permitcalculators} as a synonym % for \cs{allowcalculators}.} % If calculators are permitted in the examination, use the % \DescribeMacro{\allowcalculators} % \DescribeMacro{\permitcalculators} % \cs{allowcalculators} macro (\cs{permitcalculators} will also work). % This macro is optional---if you omit it, a sentence is inserted saying % that calculators are \emph{not} permitted. The macro has a % single optional argument that specifies the kind of calculators % permitted. If omitted, it defaults to ``any'' (see below). Otherwise, % this argument must be one of the following values: % \begin{description} % % \item[\textsf{none}] A sentence is inserted noting that no calculators are % permitted. % % \item[\textsf{scientific}] A sentence is inserted noting that only approved % scientific calculators are permitted. % % \item[\textsf{graphing}] A sentence is inserted noting that only approved % scientific and graphing calculators are permitted. % % \item[\textsf{any}] (default) A sentence is inserted noting that any % calculator that does not have a communication capability is % permitted. % % \end{description} % % The \DescribeMacro{\instructions} \cs{instructions} macro lets you specify % instructions on how candidates should complete the % examination, for example, \|\instructions{Answer ALL\| \|questions.}\|. This macro % is optional. Note that the content of the instructions can be just about % anything. It is up to you to control formatting, such as how you want lines % broken, etc. This also true of the \cs{material}, \cs{copiesof} and % \cs{otherinstructions} macros described below. % % The \DescribeMacro{\material} \cs{material} macro lets you specify any % additional material that candidates are provided in addition to the % examination paper itself, for example, \|\material{SQL schema definition}\|. % This macro is optional. % % The \DescribeMacro{\copiesof} \cs{copiesof} macro lets you specify any % material that candidates are allowed to bring into the examination, for % example, \|\copiesof{McFadden \&\| \|Hoffer, 5th edition}\|. This macro is % optional. % % The \DescribeMacro{\otherinstructions} \cs{otherinstructions} macro lets you specify any other instructions not covered by any of the above, for example, \|\otherinstructions{No smoking\| \|allowed.}\|. This macro is optional. Note that if the examination is embargoed using the \textsf{embargo} class option, additional instructions will be automatically inserted here. % % Once you have specified the content of the title page using the above % macros, you simply issue a \DescribeMacro{\maketitlepage} \cs{maketitlepage} % to generate the front page of the examination (cf. \cs{maketitle}). The title % page generated meets University formatting requirements. % Note that the number of pages in the examination paper is generated % and inserted into the title page automatically---you do not need to specify % it manually. % % % \subsection{Sections} % \label{Sec:Sections} % % Examination papers may optionally have multiple sections, ``numbered'' A, B, etc. Rather than redefine the existing \LaTeX\ section macros, \textsf{ouexam} defines an \DescribeEnv{examsection} \textsf{examsection} environment that generates a new section. The \textsf{examsection} environment has three mandatory arguments: % \begin{enumerate} % \item The expected number of marks for the question. If you leave this argument empty it defaults to zero. By default, \textsf{ouexam} keeps a running total of the \emph{actual} number of marks encountered within a section, which is compared with the value of this argument when the environment is closed (use the \textsf{don't verify total} option to disable this; see below). An error is raised if the values are not equal. The running total is also typeset right-justified at the end of the section in the form ``\textbf{[SECTION A TOTAL 20 MARKS]}'' (unless the \textsf{hide total} option is specified; see below) as an additional verification (or just ``\textbf{[TOTAL 20 MARKS]}'' if the \textsf{hide title} option is specifed; see below). % % \item Instructions for answering questions in this section, such as ``\textbf{ANSWER ANY \underline{TWO} QUESTIONS.}''. The argument will be typeset in \textbf{bold face}. If you leave this argument empty it defaults to ``\textbf{ANSWER \underline{ALL} QUESTIONS (TOTAL xx MARKS).}'' (the marks total is omitted if it is zero or if the \textsf{hide total} option is specified; see below). % % \item A description of the topic of the section (this could also be used to provide further, more detailed instructions). This can be left empty. % \end{enumerate} % % The optional argument to \textsf{examsection} is a list of option keywords that control its behaviour. The available options are: % \begin{description} % \item[\textsf{show title}] \DescribeMacro{show title}\DescribeMacro{hide title} Print the title of the section (enabled by default). Specify \textsf{hide title} to suppress this. % % \item[\textsf{show total}] \DescribeMacro{show total}\DescribeMacro{hide total} Print a summary at the end of the section of the number of marks in the section (enabled by default).

They % produce questions that are numbered according to University examination % formatting requirements. Note that questions are normally numbered % sequentially throughout the entire paper regardless of any section % boundaries. % % All three environments have a single mandatory argument which is the % expected number of marks for the question, part or sub-part. If this % argument is left empty it will default to zero (this has the side effect of % not printing the marks total at the end of the question). This argument works % in much the same way as the first argument to the \textsf{examsection} % environment (see \hyperref[Sec:Sections]{section~\ref{Sec:Sections}}): % \textsf{ouexam} keeps a running total of the number of marks encountered % within each question part and sub-part, and compares this total with the % expected value when the environment closes. Where appropriate, the running % total is typeset right-justified in the form ``(5 marks)''. For example: % \begin{verbatim} % \begin{question}{5} % \begin{subquestion}{2} % Why is the sky blue? % \end{subquestion} % \begin{subquestion}{3} % Explain in detail how the sky can be made pink. % \end{subquestion} % \end{question} % \begin{question}{1} % Define the term ``floccinaucinihilipilification''. % \end{question} % \end{verbatim} % % \noindent will produce the following: % \begin{center} % \fbox{% % \begin{minipage}{0.9\columnwidth} % \begin{enumerate} % \item % \begin{enumerate} % \item Why is the sky blue? \hfill (2 marks) % % \item Explain in detail how the sky can be made pink. \hfill (3 % marks) % \end{enumerate} % % \item Define the term ``floccinaucinihilipilification''. \hfill (1 % mark) % \end{enumerate} % \end{minipage} % } % \end{center} % % The \textsf{question} environments handle formatting of marks totals % automatically, including considerations such as: % \begin{itemize} % \item whether or not to print the number of marks for a question at all (they should not be printed if the question has sub-parts, and will also not be printed if the number of marks is zero, or if the \textsf{hide marks} option is specified; see below); % % \item whether to print ``mark'' or ``marks'' (e.g., question 2 above); and % % \item where to position the number of marks relative to the question, % depending on how full the last line of the question is. % \end{itemize} % % The optional argument to the various \textsf{question} environments is a list of option keywords that control its behaviour. The available options are: % % \begin{description} % \item[\textsf{show marks}] \DescribeMacro{show marks}\DescribeMacro{hide marks} Print the number of marks for the question (enabled by default). Specify \textsf{hide marks} to suppress them. This option is available for the \textsf{question}, \textsf{subquestion}, and \textsf{subsubquestion} environments. Note that the marks will \emph{always} be suppressed when a question has sub-questions, or if its expected number of marks is set to zero. % % \item[\textsf{show total}] \DescribeMacro{show total}\DescribeMacro{hide total} Print a summary at the end of the question of the number of marks in the section (enabled by default). This option does not cascade to any sub-questions within the question. This option is available for the \textsf{question} and \textsf{subquestion} environments only (a \textsf{subsubquestion} has no sub-components to total).

Any variation to this nesting order will cause an error. % % \changes{2.4}{2013/06/13}{NJS Added \cs{questionskip} to control spacing between questions.} % You can control the spacing between top-level questions by redefining the \DescribeMacro{\questionskip} \cs{questionskip} length. It defaults to \cs{baselineskip}. Note that this applies only to the \textsf{question} environment; there are no equivalent lengths for \textsf{subquestion} or \textsf{subsubquestion}. % % % \changes{2.2}{2010/04/26}{NJS Added time allocation macros.} % \subsection{Time allocations} % \label{Sec-Questions-Time} % % If you wish to suggest a time allocation for completing a question, use the \DescribeMacro{\timeallocation} \cs{timeallocation} macro. The only argument is the number of minutes to be allocated for this question. The macro will output the time allocation in the form: \textbf{[The suggested time allocation for this question is \emph{t} minutes.]} % % If you wish to allow a certain amount of time for candidates to read some text, use the \DescribeMacro{\readingtime} \cs{readingtime} macro. The only argument is the number of minutes to be allocated for reading time. The macro will output the reading time in the form: \textbf{[Allow \emph{t} minutes reading time.]} % % Both macros assume the base unit to be minutes; if you wish to change this you will need to redefine the macros. Otherwise, the argument can be almost anything: text, numbers, etc. % % \textsf{ouexam} currently does not check that time allocations sum correctly. This may be implemented in a future version. % % % \subsection{Marking schedule information} % \label{Sec:Questions:Marking} % % Rather than writing a separate marking schedule for an examination paper, % you can use the \DescribeEnv{marking} \textsf{marking} environment to embed % marking information within questions. By default this information is not % printed (for obvious reasons!), but when it comes time to print a marking % schedule for the examination, use the \textsf{markingschedule} class option % to print the hidden content. The marking information will be set in % \emph{italics} to differentiate it from the main body of the examination, % and \fbox{MARKING SCHEDULE} will also be printed in the header of every % page. % % \changes{2.1}{2004/04/10}{NJS Added driver file tip.} % A useful tip for writing examination papers is to create two separate % ``driver'' documents that are set up the document class for the % ``plain'' and ``marking schedule'' versions of the examination, % respectively. Each should then include a separate document that contains % the actual content of the examination paper, for example: % % \begin{verbatim} % \documentclass[markingschedule]{ouexam} % % \input{exampaper} % contains the actual examination content % \end{verbatim} % % Doing this enables you to build the ``plain'' and ``marking schedule'' % versions independently, without overwriting each other or having to % change the original source file. Simply run \LaTeX\ on the appropriate % driver file to produce the version that you want. See the example files % that came with the \textsf{ouexam} distribution for an example of this % approach in action. % % % \subsection{Miscellaneous} % % Most examinations are marked out of 100, and \textsf{ouexam} defaults to % this. However, if you want an examination that is marked out of some other % number, for example, 90 marks, you can specify this using the % \DescribeMacro{\examoutof} \cs{examoutof} macro. Thus, \|\examoutof{90}\| % will set the expected number of marks for the examination to 90. This value % is used by \textsf{ouexam} to verify that the marks for all the questions % add up to the expected number of marks for the examination. % % % \section{Errors and warnings} % % In this section are described the error messages and warning produced by % \textsf{ouexam}, and the reasons why they occur. % % % \subsection{Error messages} % % \noindent\texttt{OBSOLETE (\ldots): this document was written for an % earlier} \\ % \texttt{version of ouexam \ldots} \\ % You are trying to use v2.0 or later of \textsf{ouexam} with a document that was written for \textsf{ouexam} v1.2 or earlier.

Group~1 % queries only inactive customers, group~2 queries only bronze status % customers and groups~3 and~4 both query only silver and gold status % customers. Members of any group may query the table at any time and % queries often overlap. % % \item UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE operations on the table are uncommon. % % \item Very few queries are for individual customers; rather, most % queries are based on various combinations of values from % \textsf{status}, \textsf{city}, \textsf{state} and \textsf{country}. % \end{itemize}\medskip % % \begin{subquestion}{3} % Describe and justify an \emph{index-based} physical tuning solution % that will improve the performance of queries on the \textsf{Customer} % table. (No code is required.) % \begin{marking} % Since queries tend to be on combinations of several low-cardinality % columns [1] and the table is very large [1], the most effective % solution would be to place bitmap indexes on status, city, state and % country [1]. % % B-tree indexes on any of the individual columns would not be ideal % because of their low cardinality. A possible alternative is a % composite B-tree index on all four columns [1 for suggesting this if % appropriate], but this is not ideal and would be much larger than % the four bitmap indexes [1 for this explanation if appropriate]. % Hashing is definitely \emph{not} an option, because very few queries % are exact match. % \end{marking} % \end{subquestion} % % \begin{subquestion}{7} % \begin{subsubquestion}{5}\label{nonindex} % Assuming that there are two identical fast disks available, describe % and justify two alternative \emph{non index-based} physical tuning % solutions that will improve the performance of queries on the % \textsf{Customer} table. For each solution include details of how % the two disks will be used. (No code is required.) % \begin{marking} % Alternative 1: partition the table across the two disks based on % status (four partitions, one for each status value) [1]. This will % allow simultaneous parallel access to different parts of the table % by the different groups [1]. Since two groups both access silver % and gold customers, it makes sense to put the silver customers on % disk one and the gold customers on disk two. Bronze customers % account for 50\% of the table, so it makes sense to also put them % on disk two (as the gold customers are the smallest group), and % put the inactive customers on disk one with the silver customers. % [1 for any sensible partitioning scheme] % % Alternative 2: replicate the table across both disks (one replica % on each disk) [1]. This will also provide simultaneous parallel % access to the data (hard to tell whether this would be better or % worse than the partitioning above) [1]. % % Note that any solution must be capable of being implemented in % Oracle8. % \end{marking} % \end{subsubquestion} % % \begin{subsubquestion}{2} % Briefly discuss the relative advantages and/or disadvantages of the % two alternative solutions you described in part~(\ref{nonindex}) % above. % \begin{marking} % The partitioning solution given above doesn't really help with the % bronze customer rows---we would need random horizontal % partitioning to really help with this, which Oracle8 doesn't % support. More generally, Oracle8 does not migrate rows into the % correct partition if a customer's status changes, so the data will % need to be reloaded occasionally [1]. % % For replication, we have the usual problem of keeping the replicas % synchronised if they are both read/write. This is somewhat % mitigated by the fact that there are only two copies [1]. % \end{marking} % \end{subsubquestion} % \end{subquestion} % \end{question} % % \newpage % \begin{question}{10} % There are two generic parameters that affect the structure of a B-tree % index. % % \begin{subquestion}{6} % Identify these two parameters and describe what each parameter % specifies.

(Ideally we would use \cs{if@packageloaded}, but this can't be used after \cs{AtBeginDocument}, and can be foiled by a package loading \textsf{hyperref} \cs{AtBeginDocument}.) % \begin{macrocode} \AtEndDocument{% \@ifundefined{Hy@Warning}{% hyperref not loaded \immediate\write\@auxout{\string\newlabel{num.pages}{{}{\thepage}}}% }{% hyperref loaded \immediate\write\@auxout{\string\newlabel{num.pages}{{}{\thepage}{}{}{}}}% }% } % \end{macrocode} % This label is then referenced in \cs{@maketitlepage}. % \end{macro} % % \begin{macro}{num.questions} % \changes{1.1}{1999/04/20}{NJS Added \cs{num.questions} label representing the number of questions.} % \changes{2.4}{2013/06/05}{NJS Added check for \textsf{hyperref} being loaded.} % Similarly, there is no macro to specify the number of questions in the examination.

% \begin{abstract}
% This document class allows you to create Otago University final
% examination papers using \LaTeXe\@. It implements the major formatting
% requirements specified by the University, provides useful
% macros to ease the process of building the title page and automatically
% deals with fiddly little issues such as question and section numbering,
% the number of pages in the paper, printing ``\textbf{TURN OVER}'' in the
% bottom right corner of every page except the last one and ensuring that the
% total number of marks for a question adds up to the expected number.

% \section{Overview}
% 
% \changes{2.1}{2004/04/10}{NJS Added requirements and installation instructions.}
% \changes{2.3}{2012/09/04}{NJS Dropped vanilla \LaTeX\ for building docs.}
% \subsection{Requirements and installation}
% 
% The \textsf{ouexam} package requires the \textsf{verbatim},
% \textsf{fontenc}, \textsf{lmodern} and \textsf{textcomp} packages, all
% of which should come standard with most \TeX\ installations. To build
% the documentation and example files, you will need at least version 1.1
% of the \textsf{listings} package, and the \textsf{pdfjam} tool.
% 
% Installation is relatively simple:
% \begin{enumerate}
% 
% 	\item Unpack the distribution archive and \texttt{cd} to the
% 	distribution directory.
% 	
% 	\item \texttt{make}.
% 	
% 	\item \texttt{make install TEXMF\_INSTALL=/path/to/texmf}.
% 	\texttt{/path/to/texmf} should be the root of your preferred
% 	\texttt{texmf} tree (e.g., \texttt{/usr/share/texmf}). You may need
% 	to do this as root depending on which \texttt{texmf} tree you are
% 	installing into. You can also define \texttt{TEXMF\_INSTALL} as an
% 	environment variable then simply type \texttt{make install}.
% 
% \end{enumerate}
% You can, of course, always install manually if you wish.
% 
% 
% \changes{2.0}{2002/01/11}{NJS Added note on backwards compatibility.}
% \subsection{Important note on backwards compatibility}
% 
% Version 2.0 of \textsf{ouexam} introduced several major changes from earlier
% versions. Consequently, documents created using an earlier version of
% \textsf{ouexam} are \emph{incompatible} with version 2.0 or later. Versions 2.0
% and greater of \textsf{ouexam} will detect attempts to process a version 1.x
% document and display an error message.
% 
% The older version (1.2) is still available and can be downloaded from the same
% location as the current version. To process older version documents, just copy
% the version 1.2 |ouexam.cls| file into the same directory as the document file.
% \TeX\ searches the current directory first, so this copy will take precedence
% over any other installed version of \textsf{ouexam}.
% 
% 
% \subsection{Class options}
%
% This document class is based on the \textsf{article} class and accepts
% most of the options accepted by \textsf{article} (the \textsf{twoside},
% \textsf{10pt} and \textsf{11pt} options are ignored). The standard
% options are \textsf{onecolumn}, \textsf{oneside}, \textsf{a4paper} and
% \textsf{12pt}. In addition, \textsf{ouexam} accepts the following
% ``native'' class options:
% \begin{description}
% 	\item[\textsf{draft}] \DescribeMacro{draft} This option has the usual
% 	effects that you would expect for \textsf{draft} mode in the
% 	\textsf{article} class, plus \fbox{DRAFT} is printed in
% 	the footer of every page. Note that if you use the \textsf{graphicx}
% 	package and turn on the \textsf{draft} option in \textsf{ouexam}, all
% 	included graphics will be drawn in draft mode unless you specify the
% 	|draft=false| option to \cs{includegraphics}.
% 	
% 	\item[\textsf{markingschedule}] \DescribeMacro{markingschedule}
% 	Rather than write a separate marking schedule for an examination paper, you
% 	can use the \textsf{marking} environment to embed marking information
% 	within questions (see 
% 	\hyperref[Sec:Questions:Marking]{section~\ref*{Sec:Questions:Marking}}).
% 	By default this information is not printed (for obvious reasons!), but
% 	when it comes time to print a marking schedule for the examination,
% 	including the \textsf{markingschedule} class option in the
% 	\cs{usepackage} command will cause \textsf{ouexam} to print the hidden
% 	content. It will also print \fbox{MARKING SCHEDULE} in the header of
% 	every page.
% 	
% 	\item[\textsf{times}] \DescribeMacro{times}
% 	The Examinations Office prefers all examination papers to be set in 12pt
% 	Palatino. However, if this is not available, they will accept 13pt Times
% 	instead. The \textsf{times} class option enables the latter, but should
% 	only be used if Palatino is not available.
% 	
% 	\item[\textsf{embargo}] \DescribeMacro{embargo}
% 	Specify this option if the examination paper is to be embargoed. This will add a field for the candidate to enter their student ID in the top right of the title page, and automatically insert an instruction under ``other instructions'' to hand in the entire examination paper.
% \end{description}
% 
% 
% \subsection{Required packages}
% 
% This class requires the \textsf{verbatim} package in order to implement
% the marking schedule functionality. It also expects modern \LaTeX\ font
% handling capabilities, and therefore requires the \textsf{fontenc},
% \textsf{textcomp} and \textsf{lmodern} classes. \textsf{pgfkeys} is used
% for key-value option handling.
% 
% 
% \subsection{Page margins}
% 
% This class assumes A4 paper. You will probably get weird results if you try
% to do anything different. The margins are set up as follows: top and bottom
% 2cm (headers and footers are inside this margin), left and right 2.54cm (1in).
% 
% 
% \changes{2.1.1}{2006/08/21}{NJS Updated \textsf{lastpage} style to display
% ``\textbf{END}''.}
% \subsection{Page styles}
% 
% There are two page styles defined in this class:
% \begin{description}
% 	\item[\textsf{plain}] \DescribeMacro{plain} This is a slight modification of the \textsf{plain} page style from \textsf{article}. It produces pages that have the page number centered at the bottom, the paper number in the top right corner and the text ``\textbf{TURN OVER}'' in the bottom right of every page except the last page, which has ``\textbf{END}'' instead. This is the default page style.
% 	
% 	\item[\textsf{titlepage}] \DescribeMacro{titlepage} This is similar to \textsf{plain} but without the page header, and is used for the title page of the paper. You will normally not use this yourself, because the \cs{maketitlepage} macro handles this automatically (see \hyperref[Sec:TitlePage]{section~\ref*{Sec:TitlePage}}).
% \end{description}
% 
% 
% \section{Writing an examination paper}
% 
% 
% \changes{2.0.2}{2002/05/11}{NJS Moved the title page subsection to the start
% of this section.}
% \subsection{The title page}
% \label{Sec:TitlePage}
% 
% This class defines a collection of macros that let you fill in the various
% parts of the examination title page. This is analogous to the process you use
% to generate the title of a document in, for example, the \textsf{article} class
% (using \cs{title}, \cs{author}, \cs{date} and \cs{maketitle}). That is, you
% issue the macros described below in the document preamble, then issue a
% \cs{maketitlepage} in the document body.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\examyear} \cs{examyear} macro lets you specify the year
% in which the examination is being held, for example, |\examyear{2016}|. This
% macro is mandatory.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\department} \cs{department} macro lets you specify the
% name of the department that produced the examination paper, for example,
% |\department{Information| |Science}|. This macro is mandatory.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\papernumber} \cs{papernumber} macro lets you specify
% the paper number that the examination is for, for example,
% |\papernumber{COMP 101}|. This macro is mandatory. Note that when you
% specify semester information using \cs{semester}, this is appended to
% the paper number in the page header. For example, if you specify
% |\papernumber{COMP 101}| and |\semester{2}|, the header will contain
% ``COMP 101 (Semester Two)'' rather than just ``COMP 101''.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\papertitle} \cs{papertitle} macro lets you specify the
% title of the paper, for example, 
% |\papertitle{Systems Analysis and Design Methods}|. This macro is mandatory.
% 
% \changes{2.0.2}{2002/08/22}{NJS Added `FY' to the \cs{semester} macro
% description.}
% Some papers are offered in more than one semester. The
% \DescribeMacro{\semester} \cs{semester} macro lets you specify which
% semester the examination is for. The argument can be either ``1'' or ``2''
% for semesters 1 and 2, ``SS'' for summer school, ``FY'' for a full-year
% paper or ``SP'' for a special examination, for example, |\semester{2}|.
% Invalid values for the argument cause a warning to be raised. This macro is
% optional---if you omit it, no semester information is generated.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\timeallowed} \cs{timeallowed} macro lets you specify the
% length of the examination in hours, for example, |\timeallowed{2}|. This
% macro is optional---if you omit it, it defaults to three (3) hours.
% 
% \changes{2.1}{2004/04/05}{NJS Modified \cs{allowcalculators} to conform
% to the new University calculator regulations.}
% \changes{2.1}{2004/04/05}{NJS Added \cs{permitcalculators} as a synonym
% for \cs{allowcalculators}.}
% If calculators are permitted in the examination, use the
% \DescribeMacro{\allowcalculators}
% \DescribeMacro{\permitcalculators}
% \cs{allowcalculators} macro (\cs{permitcalculators} will also work).
% This macro is optional---if you omit it, a sentence is inserted saying
% that calculators are \emph{not} permitted. The macro has a
% single optional argument that specifies the kind of calculators
% permitted. If omitted, it defaults to ``any'' (see below). Otherwise,
% this argument must be one of the following values:
% \begin{description}
% 
% 	\item[\textsf{none}] A sentence is inserted noting that no calculators are
% 	permitted.
% 
% 	\item[\textsf{scientific}] A sentence is inserted noting that only approved
% 	scientific calculators are permitted.
% 
% 	\item[\textsf{graphing}] A sentence is inserted noting that only approved
% 	scientific and graphing calculators are permitted.
% 
% 	\item[\textsf{any}] (default) A sentence is inserted noting that any
% 	calculator that does not have a communication capability is
% 	permitted.
% 
% \end{description}
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\instructions} \cs{instructions} macro lets you specify
% instructions on how candidates should complete the
% examination, for example, |\instructions{Answer ALL| |questions.}|. This macro
% is optional. Note that the content of the instructions can be just about
% anything. It is up to you to control formatting, such as how you want lines
% broken, etc. This also true of the \cs{material}, \cs{copiesof} and
% \cs{otherinstructions} macros described below.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\material} \cs{material} macro lets you specify any
% additional material that candidates are provided in addition to the
% examination paper itself, for example, |\material{SQL schema definition}|.
% This macro is optional.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\copiesof} \cs{copiesof} macro lets you specify any
% material that candidates are allowed to bring into the examination, for
% example, |\copiesof{McFadden \&| |Hoffer, 5th edition}|. This macro is
% optional.
% 
% The \DescribeMacro{\otherinstructions} \cs{otherinstructions} macro lets you specify any other instructions not covered by any of the above, for example, |\otherinstructions{No smoking| |allowed.}|. This macro is optional. Note that if the examination is embargoed using the \textsf{embargo} class option, additional instructions will be automatically inserted here.
% 
% Once you have specified the content of the title page using the above
% macros, you simply issue a \DescribeMacro{\maketitlepage} \cs{maketitlepage}
% to generate the front page of the examination (cf. \cs{maketitle}). The title
% page generated meets University formatting requirements.
% Note that the number of pages in the examination paper is generated
% and inserted into the title page automatically---you do not need to specify
% it manually.
% 
% 
% \subsection{Sections}
% \label{Sec:Sections}
% 
% Examination papers may optionally have multiple sections, ``numbered'' A, B, etc. Rather than redefine the existing \LaTeX\ section macros, \textsf{ouexam} defines an \DescribeEnv{examsection} \textsf{examsection} environment that generates a new section. The \textsf{examsection} environment has three mandatory arguments:
% \begin{enumerate}
% 	\item The expected number of marks for the question. If you leave this argument empty it defaults to zero. By default, \textsf{ouexam} keeps a running total of the \emph{actual} number of marks encountered within a section, which is compared with the value of this argument when the environment is closed (use the \textsf{don't verify total} option to disable this; see below). An error is raised if the values are not equal. The running total is also typeset right-justified at the end of the section in the form ``\textbf{[SECTION A TOTAL 20 MARKS]}'' (unless the \textsf{hide total} option is specified; see below) as an additional verification (or just ``\textbf{[TOTAL 20 MARKS]}'' if the \textsf{hide title} option is specifed; see below).
% 	
% 	\item Instructions for answering questions in this section, such as ``\textbf{ANSWER ANY \underline{TWO} QUESTIONS.}''. The argument will be typeset in \textbf{bold face}. If you leave this argument empty it defaults to ``\textbf{ANSWER \underline{ALL} QUESTIONS (TOTAL xx MARKS).}'' (the marks total is omitted if it is zero or if the \textsf{hide total} option is specified; see below).
% 	
% 	\item A description of the topic of the section (this could also be used to provide further, more detailed instructions). This can be left empty.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% The optional argument to \textsf{examsection} is a list of option keywords that control its behaviour. The available options are:
% \begin{description}
%   \item[\textsf{show title}] \DescribeMacro{show title}\DescribeMacro{hide title} Print the title of the section (enabled by default). Specify \textsf{hide title} to suppress this.
%
%   \item[\textsf{show total}] \DescribeMacro{show total}\DescribeMacro{hide total} Print a summary at the end of the section of the number of marks in the section (enabled by default). Specify \textsf{hide total} to suppress this. This option does not cascade to any questions within the section.
%
%   \item[\textsf{verify total}] \DescribeMacro{verify total}\DescribeMacro{don't verify total} Calculate the running total of marks for questions within the section, and verify that this matches the expected number of marks. Specify \textsf{don't verify total} to suppress this (this also implies \textsf{hide total}).
% \end{description}
%
% Every section begins on a new page, and the section title is formatted as ``\textbf{\underline{Section A}}'', in \cs{large} size, unless the \textsf{hide title} option is specified. For example:	\\
% 
% \noindent|\begin{examsection}{25}{}{These questions are remarkably boring.}|	\\
% \hspace*{1cm}\vdots	\\
% |\end{examsection}|	\\
% 
% \noindent will produce the following (assuming that the actual number of
% marks in the question is correct):
% 
% \begin{center}
% 	\fbox{%
% 	\begin{minipage}{0.9\columnwidth}
% 		{\large\noindent\textbf{\underline{Section~A}}}	\\[0.5\baselineskip]
% 		\textbf{ANSWER \underline{ALL} QUESTIONS (TOTAL 25 MARKS).}	\\
% 		These questions are remarkably boring.	\\
% 		\hspace*{2cm}\vdots	\\
% 		\mbox{}\hfill\textbf{[SECTION A TOTAL 25 MARKS]}
% 	\end{minipage}
% 	}
% \end{center}
%
% \noindent whereas |\begin{examsection}[hide title]{25}{}{...}| will produce:
% 
% \begin{center}
% 	\fbox{%
% 	\begin{minipage}{0.9\columnwidth}
% 		\textbf{ANSWER \underline{ALL} QUESTIONS (TOTAL 25 MARKS).}	\\
% 		These questions are remarkably boring.	\\
% 		\hspace*{2cm}\vdots	\\
% 		\mbox{}\hfill\textbf{[TOTAL 25 MARKS]}
% 	\end{minipage}
% 	}
% \end{center}
%
% 
% \subsection{Questions}
% \label{Sec:Questions}
% 
% \textsf{ouexam} provides three environments for building examination
% questions: \DescribeEnv{question} \textsf{question},
% \DescribeEnv{subquestion} \textsf{subquestion} and \textsf{subsubquestion},
% which correspond to top-level questions, parts of questions, and
% \DescribeEnv{subsubquestion} sub-parts of questions respectively. They
% produce questions that are numbered according to University examination
% formatting requirements. Note that questions are normally numbered
% sequentially throughout the entire paper regardless of any section
% boundaries.
% 
% All three environments have a single mandatory argument which is the
% expected number of marks for the question, part or sub-part. If this
% argument is left empty it will default to zero (this has the side effect of
% not printing the marks total at the end of the question). This argument works
% in much the same way as the first argument to the \textsf{examsection}
% environment (see \hyperref[Sec:Sections]{section~\ref*{Sec:Sections}}):
% \textsf{ouexam} keeps a running total of the number of marks encountered
% within each question part and sub-part, and compares this total with the
% expected value when the environment closes. Where appropriate, the running
% total is typeset right-justified in the form ``(5 marks)''. For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{question}{5}
%   \begin{subquestion}{2}
%     Why is the sky blue?
%   \end{subquestion}
%   \begin{subquestion}{3}
%     Explain in detail how the sky can be made pink.
%   \end{subquestion}
% \end{question}
% \begin{question}{1}
%   Define the term ``floccinaucinihilipilification''.
% \end{question}
% \end{verbatim}
% 
% \noindent will produce the following:
% \begin{center}
% 	\fbox{%
% 	\begin{minipage}{0.9\columnwidth}
% 		\begin{enumerate}
% 			\item
% 			\begin{enumerate}
% 				\item Why is the sky blue? \hfill (2 marks)
% 
% 				\item Explain in detail how the sky can be made pink. \hfill (3
% 				marks)
% 			\end{enumerate}
% 
% 			\item Define the term ``floccinaucinihilipilification''. \hfill (1
% 			mark)
% 		\end{enumerate}
% 	\end{minipage}
% 	}
% \end{center}
% 
% The \textsf{question} environments handle formatting of marks totals
% automatically, including considerations such as:
% \begin{itemize}
% 	\item whether or not to print the number of marks for a question at all (they should not be printed if the question has sub-parts, and will also not be printed if the number of marks is zero, or if the \textsf{hide marks} option is specified; see below);
% 	
% 	\item whether to print ``mark'' or ``marks'' (e.g., question 2 above); and
% 	
% 	\item where to position the number of marks relative to the question,
% 	depending on how full the last line of the question is.
% \end{itemize}
%
% The optional argument to the various \textsf{question} environments is a list of option keywords that control its behaviour. The available options are:
%
% \begin{description}
%   \item[\textsf{show marks}] \DescribeMacro{show marks}\DescribeMacro{hide marks} Print the number of marks for the question (enabled by default). Specify \textsf{hide marks} to suppress them. This option is available for the \textsf{question}, \textsf{subquestion}, and \textsf{subsubquestion} environments. Note that the marks will \emph{always} be suppressed when a question has sub-questions, or if its expected number of marks is set to zero.
%
%   \item[\textsf{show total}] \DescribeMacro{show total}\DescribeMacro{hide total} Print a summary at the end of the question of the number of marks in the section (enabled by default). This option does not cascade to any sub-questions within the question. This option is available for the \textsf{question} and \textsf{subquestion} environments only (a \textsf{subsubquestion} has no sub-components to total). Specify \textsf{hide total} to suppress this.
%
%   \item[\textsf{verify total}] \DescribeMacro{verify total}\DescribeMacro{don't verify total} Calculate the running total of marks for sub-questions within the question, and verify that this matches the expected number of marks. Specify \textsf{don't verify total} to suppress this (this also implies \textsf{hide total}). This option is available for the \textsf{question} and \textsf{subquestion} environments only (a \textsf{subsubquestion} has no sub-components to total).
% \end{description}
% 
% \changes{2.4}{2013/05/31}{NJS Enforced proper question environment nesting.}
% The various \textsf{question} environments must be correctly nested in order for the features described above to work correctly, i.e., \textsf{question} at the top level, followed by \textsf{subquestion} and \textsf{subsubquestion}. Any variation to this nesting order will cause an error.
% 
% \changes{2.4}{2013/06/13}{NJS Added \cs{questionskip} to control spacing between questions.}
% You can control the spacing between top-level questions by redefining the \DescribeMacro{\questionskip} \cs{questionskip} length. It defaults to \cs{baselineskip}. Note that this applies only to the \textsf{question} environment; there are no equivalent lengths for \textsf{subquestion} or \textsf{subsubquestion}.
% 
% 
% \changes{2.2}{2010/04/26}{NJS Added time allocation macros.}
% \subsection{Time allocations}
% \label{Sec-Questions-Time}
% 
% If you wish to suggest a time allocation for completing a question, use the \DescribeMacro{\timeallocation} \cs{timeallocation} macro. The only argument is the number of minutes to be allocated for this question. The macro will output the time allocation in the form: \textbf{[The suggested time allocation for this question is \emph{t} minutes.]}
% 
% If you wish to allow a certain amount of time for candidates to read some text, use the \DescribeMacro{\readingtime} \cs{readingtime} macro. The only argument is the number of minutes to be allocated for reading time. The macro will output the reading time in the form: \textbf{[Allow \emph{t} minutes reading time.]}
% 
% Both macros assume the base unit to be minutes; if you wish to change this you will need to redefine the macros. Otherwise, the argument can be almost anything: text, numbers, etc.
% 
% \textsf{ouexam} currently does not check that time allocations sum correctly. This may be implemented in a future version.
%
% 
% \subsection{Marking schedule information}
% \label{Sec:Questions:Marking}
% 
% Rather than writing a separate marking schedule for an examination paper,
% you can use the \DescribeEnv{marking} \textsf{marking} environment to embed
% marking information within questions. By default this information is not
% printed (for obvious reasons!), but when it comes time to print a marking
% schedule for the examination, use the \textsf{markingschedule} class option
% to print the hidden content. The marking information will be set in
% \emph{italics} to differentiate it from the main body of the examination,
% and \fbox{MARKING SCHEDULE} will also be printed in the header of every
% page.
% 
% \changes{2.1}{2004/04/10}{NJS Added driver file tip.}
% A useful tip for writing examination papers is to create two separate
% ``driver'' documents that are set up the document class for the
% ``plain'' and ``marking schedule'' versions of the examination,
% respectively. Each should then include a separate document that contains
% the actual content of the examination paper, for example:
% 
% \begin{verbatim}
% \documentclass[markingschedule]{ouexam}
% 
% \input{exampaper} % contains the actual examination content
% \end{verbatim}
% 
% Doing this enables you to build the ``plain'' and ``marking schedule''
% versions independently, without overwriting each other or having to
% change the original source file. Simply run \LaTeX\ on the appropriate
% driver file to produce the version that you want. See the example files
% that came with the \textsf{ouexam} distribution for an example of this
% approach in action.
% 
% 
% \subsection{Miscellaneous}
% 
% Most examinations are marked out of 100, and \textsf{ouexam} defaults to
% this. However, if you want an examination that is marked out of some other
% number, for example, 90 marks, you can specify this using the
% \DescribeMacro{\examoutof} \cs{examoutof} macro. Thus, |\examoutof{90}|
% will set the expected number of marks for the examination to 90. This value
% is used by \textsf{ouexam} to verify that the marks for all the questions
% add up to the expected number of marks for the examination.
% 
% 
% \section{Errors and warnings}
% 
% In this section are described the error messages and warning produced by
% \textsf{ouexam}, and the reasons why they occur.
% 
% 
% \subsection{Error messages}
% 
% \noindent\texttt{OBSOLETE (\ldots): this document was written for an
% earlier}	\\
% \texttt{version of ouexam \ldots}	\\
% You are trying to use v2.0 or later of \textsf{ouexam} with a document that was written for \textsf{ouexam} v1.2 or earlier. Versions 2.0 and later of \textsf{ouexam} are \emph{fundamentally incompatible} with earlier versions. The only solutions here are either to revert to \textsf{ouexam} v1.2 or earlier (you can put a copy of the class file in the same directory as the document), or rewrite the document to conform to the current version of \textsf{ouexam}. You should be able to download a copy of v1.2 from the same location that you found the current version.	\\
% 	
% \noindent\texttt{no \cs{examyear} was specified}	\\
% \noindent\texttt{no \cs{department} was specified}	\\
% \noindent\texttt{no \cs{papernumber} was specified}	\\
% \noindent\texttt{no \cs{papertitle} was specified}	\\
% You have not specified one of these macros. All four of these macros are mandatory and must be included in the preamble of any \textsf{ouexam} document.	\\
% 
% 
% \noindent\texttt{question environment nested inside another question, subquestion or	\\*
% \hspace*{1em}subsubquestion environment}	\\
% \noindent\texttt{subquestion environment either outside a question environment, or	\\*
% \hspace*{1em}nested inside another subquestion or subsubquestion environment}	\\
% \noindent\texttt{subsubquestion environment either outside a subquestion environment,	\\*
% \hspace*{1em}or nested inside another subsubquestion environment}	\\
% These errors all mean that you have incorrectly nested your \textsf{question} environments in some way. \textsf{question}s must always appear at the outermost level, \textsf{subquestion}s must always appear inside \textsf{question}s, and \textsf{subsubquestion}s must always appear inside \textsf{subquestion}s. Any other kind of nesting is an error.	\\
% 
% 
% \subsection{Warnings}
% 
% \noindent\texttt{actual number of marks for exam (\ldots) does not match expected	\\*
% \hspace*{1em}number of marks (\ldots)}	\\
% The actual number of marks supplied for the whole examination (calculated by summing the marks for all the questions) is not the same as the expected total for the examination. Adjust the marks for the questions until the totals match.	\\
% 
% \noindent\texttt{actual mark (\ldots) for section \ldots\ does not match expected	\\*
% \hspace*{1em}mark (\ldots)}	\\
% The actual number of marks supplied for a particular section (calculated by summing the marks for all the questions in that section) is not the same as the expected total for that section. Adjust the marks for the questions in the section concerned until the totals match. The section number is given in the warning.	\\

%   relate to physical database design and tuning.}
% 
% 
% 
% \begin{question}{10}
% 
%   A major U.S. mail order firm is having performance problems with queries
%   on the \textsf{Customer} table in its Oracle8 order-processing database.
%   Consider the following information about the \textsf{Customer} table,
%   then answer the questions below:	\\
% 
%   \textsf{\textbf{Customer}(\underline{customer\_no}, name, address, city,
%   state, country, phone, email, status)}
% 
%   \begin{itemize}
%     \item \textsf{customer\_no} is the primary key and because this is an
%     Oracle8 database, a unique B-tree index has been automatically created
%     on this column.
% 
%     \item \textsf{status} is a single character column that holds one of
%     the values `I' (inactive), `B' (bronze), `S' (silver) or `G' (gold).
%     The value of this column is determined by a customer's order history.
% 
%     \item About 10\% of customers are inactive, about 50\% have bronze
%     status, about 35\% have silver status and about 5\% have gold status.
% 
%     \item The average row size is about 200 bytes and there are
%     approximately 5,000,000 rows.
% 
%     \item The \textsf{Customer} table is heavily queried (averaging thirty
%     new queries per minute) by four different groups of employees. Group~1
%     queries only inactive customers, group~2 queries only bronze status
%     customers and groups~3 and~4 both query only silver and gold status
%     customers. Members of any group may query the table at any time and
%     queries often overlap.
% 
%     \item UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE operations on the table are uncommon.
% 
%     \item Very few queries are for individual customers; rather, most
%     queries are based on various combinations of values from
%     \textsf{status}, \textsf{city}, \textsf{state} and \textsf{country}.
%   \end{itemize}\medskip
% 
%   \begin{subquestion}{3}
%     Describe and justify an \emph{index-based} physical tuning solution
%     that will improve the performance of queries on the \textsf{Customer}
%     table. (No code is required.)
%     \begin{marking}
%       Since queries tend to be on combinations of several low-cardinality
%       columns [1] and the table is very large [1], the most effective
%       solution would be to place bitmap indexes on status, city, state and
%       country [1].
% 
%       B-tree indexes on any of the individual columns would not be ideal
%       because of their low cardinality. A possible alternative is a
%       composite B-tree index on all four columns [1 for suggesting this if
%       appropriate], but this is not ideal and would be much larger than
%       the four bitmap indexes [1 for this explanation if appropriate].

%   \begin{subquestion}{7}
%     \begin{subsubquestion}{5}\label{nonindex}
%       Assuming that there are two identical fast disks available, describe
%       and justify two alternative \emph{non index-based} physical tuning
%       solutions that will improve the performance of queries on the
%       \textsf{Customer} table. For each solution include details of how
%       the two disks will be used. (No code is required.)
%       \begin{marking}
%         Alternative 1: partition the table across the two disks based on
%         status (four partitions, one for each status value) [1]. This will
%         allow simultaneous parallel access to different parts of the table
%         by the different groups [1]. Since two groups both access silver
%         and gold customers, it makes sense to put the silver customers on
%         disk one and the gold customers on disk two. Bronze customers
%         account for 50\% of the table, so it makes sense to also put them
%         on disk two (as the gold customers are the smallest group), and
%         put the inactive customers on disk one with the silver customers.
%         [1 for any sensible partitioning scheme]
%   
%         Alternative 2: replicate the table across both disks (one replica
%         on each disk) [1]. This will also provide simultaneous parallel
%         access to the data (hard to tell whether this would be better or
%         worse than the partitioning above) [1].
%   
%         Note that any solution must be capable of being implemented in
%         Oracle8.
%       \end{marking}
%     \end{subsubquestion}
% 
%     \begin{subsubquestion}{2}
%       Briefly discuss the relative advantages and/or disadvantages of the
%       two alternative solutions you described in part~(\ref{nonindex})
%       above.
%       \begin{marking}
%         The partitioning solution given above doesn't really help with the
%         bronze customer rows---we would need random horizontal
%         partitioning to really help with this, which Oracle8 doesn't
%         support. More generally, Oracle8 does not migrate rows into the
%         correct partition if a customer's status changes, so the data will
%         need to be reloaded occasionally [1].
% 
%         For replication, we have the usual problem of keeping the replicas
%         synchronised if they are both read/write. This is somewhat
%         mitigated by the fact that there are only two copies [1].

% \newpage
% \begin{question}{10}
%   There are two generic parameters that affect the structure of a B-tree
%   index.
% 
%   \begin{subquestion}{6}
%     Identify these two parameters and describe what each parameter
%     specifies. Use diagrams to illustrate your answer.
%     \begin{marking}
%       \emph{Node size} [1] specifies the maximum number of pointers in
%       each index node [1]. Suitable diagram [1].
% 
%       \emph{Percentage fill} [1] specifies the number of pointers in each
%       index node that are allocated when a node is created [1]. In effect,
%       it determines the amount of free space left in each node. Suitable
%       diagram [1].
%     \end{marking}
%   \end{subquestion}
%   
%   \begin{subquestion}{4}
%     For each of the two parameters, discuss the practical effect(s) of:
%     \begin{subsubquestion}{2}
%       high values of the parameter; and
%       \begin{marking}
%         Large node size reduces the height of the B-tree, resulting in
%         potentially fewer I/Os to access a leaf node [$\frac{1}{2}$]. It
%         can however increase the number of rows locked in a single leaf
%         node [$\frac{1}{2}$].
%   
%         High percent fill means that most pointers in a node will be
%         allocated when the node is created [$\frac{1}{2}$]. This leaves
%         little free space in the B-tree for new key values or key values
%         that change [$\frac{1}{2}$].
%       \end{marking}
%     \end{subsubquestion}
%     \begin{subsubquestion}{2}
%       low values of the parameter.
%       \begin{marking}
%         Small node size increases the height of the B-tree, resulting in
%         potentially more I/Os to access a leaf node [$\frac{1}{2}$]. The
%         number of rows locked in a single leaf node will be reduced
%         [$\frac{1}{2}$].
%   
%         Low percent fill means that most pointers in a node will not be
%         allocated when the node is created [$\frac{1}{2}$]. This leaves
%         little free space in the B-tree for new key values or key values

% \begin{question}{5}\label{clusterq}
% 
%   \begin{subquestion}{2}
%     Define what is meant by the term ``clustering'' in the context of
%     physical database design and tuning, and explain why it is beneficial.
% 
%     \begin{marking}
%       Clustering is the grouping of related rows physically near to each
%       other on disk [1] so that they may be retrieved in as few I/Os as
%       possible (ideally one)---beneficial because of the slowness of disk
%       I/O compared to memory I/O [1].
%     \end{marking}
%   \end{subquestion}
%   
%   \begin{subquestion}{3}\label{clusterqcode}
%     Consider the following Oracle8 SQL table definition:
%     
%     \begin{lstlisting}[language={[Oracle8]SQL}]{}
% create table enrolment
% (  student_id char(7),
%   paper_code char(7),
%   enrol_year number(4),
%   
%   primary key (student_id, paper_code, enrol_year)
% );
%     \end{lstlisting}
% 
%     The \textsf{Enrolment} table is often queried for all rows relating to
%     a particular student in a particular year (for example, student
%     1234567 in 1998, student 9876543 in 2000, etc.). Write appropriate
%     Oracle8 SQL code that will cluster the rows of the table in such a way
%     as to support these types of query (you do not need to calculate
%     cluster sizes). Relevant Oracle8 syntax diagrams are given on the next
%     page.
%     \begin{marking}
%       \begin{lstlisting}[language={[Oracle8]SQL}]{}

%\begin{macro}{\if@lastpagetext}
%\begin{macro}{\if@lastpagefloat}
% These two switches are used in some slightly convoluted logic to ensure that ``\textbf{END}'' is printed on the last page of the document (see below for details).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\if@lastpagetext \@lastpagetextfalse
\newif\if@lastpagefloat \@lastpagefloatfalse
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% 
% \begin{macro}{\ps@plain}
% The \textsf{plain} page style is based on that in the \textsf{article} class, and produces pages with the page number centered at the bottom, the paper number in the top right corner and the text ``\textbf{TURN OVER}'' in the bottom right. If semester information is specified, this is included in parentheses after the paper code, for example, ``COMP 101 (Semester Two)''. \fbox{MARKING SCHEDULE} is printed at top left if the \textsf{markingschedule} class option is used.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\ps@plain{%
  \def\@oddhead{\@markingschedule\hfill\@pnumber%
      \ifx\@semester\@empty\else\ (\@semester)\fi}%
  \let\@evenhead\@oddhead%
  \def\@oddfoot{%
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% Note that we have to get a bit clever to ensure that the page number is properly centered in the page footer. The naive solution is just to use \cs{hfill}s, but this will cause the page number to shift around depending on the length of \cs{@pnumber}. The \textsf{fancyhdr} package will do this for us, but it seems a bit of overkill to require this package merely so that we can ensure that the page number remains centered. Instead, we've borrowed the relevant technique from that class, which draws the left, centre and right bits of the footer as three overlapping boxes. You just have to be careful that the value of \cs{@pnumber} isn't so long that it overwrites the page number.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \rlap{\parbox[b]{\columnwidth}{\raggedright\@draft\strut}}\hfill%
    \parbox[b]{\columnwidth}{\centering\textrm{\thepage}\strut}\hfill%
    \llap{\parbox[b]{\columnwidth}{\raggedleft\textbf{%
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% An additional complication is that only the very last page of the document should have ``\textbf{END}'' displayed in the footer instead of ``\textbf{TURN OVER}''. This turns out to be a lot harder than you might think! Simply applying a \textsf{lastpage} page style \cs{AtEndDocument} works fine, \emph{except} when you have unprocessed floats at the end of the document. These are placed on one or more automatically-generated float pages at the end, which \cs{pagestyle} and \cs{thispagestyle} don't affect. That is, a \textsf{lastpage} page style simply doesn't work in this situation.
% 
% The solution is therefore to not use a page style, but rather check in the \textsf{plain} page style whether or not this is the last page, because the page style macro will be expanded for every float page that is generated. Again, this isn't as simple as it sounds! The logic goes like this:
% 
% \begin{itemize}
% 
% 	\item If there are no unprocessed floats, meaning that the last page of the document will be a text page (indicated by \cs{@lastpagetexttrue}), then output ``\textbf{END}''.
% 	
% 	\item If there are unprocessed floats, meaning that the last page of the document will be a float page (indicated by \cs{@lastpagefloattrue}), then:
% 	
% 	\begin{itemize}
% 		
% 		\item If a float page is currently being generated (indicated by \cs{@fcolmadetrue} from \texttt{latex.ltx}), then:
% 		
% 		\begin{itemize}
% 		
% 			\item If there are no more unprocessed floats (\cs{@deferlist} is empty), output ``\textbf{END}''.
% 			
% 			\item Otherwise, output ``\textbf{TURN OVER}''.
% 		
% 		\end{itemize}
% 	
% 		\item Otherwise, output ``\textbf{TURN OVER}''.
% 	
% 	\end{itemize}
% 	
% 	\item Otherwise, output ``\textbf{TURN OVER}''.

% 
% \cs{AtEndDocument}, we need to set the \texttt{lastpage} switches accordingly. The \cs{@deferlist} macro from \texttt{latex.ltx} holds a list of any unprocessed floats, so if this is empty, we know that there's nothing more to do and can just set \cs{@lastpagetexttrue}. If the list still contains unprocessed floats, set \cs{@lastpagefloattrue} then \cs{clearpage} to force the floats out. We also need to decrement the page counter by one, otherwise it ends up being one too many, which is presumably a side effect of the explicit \cs{clearpage}.

% \subsection{Various counters}
% 
% Earlier versions of \textsf{ouexam} used the \textsf{enumerate}
% environment to build questions, which meant that special counters were not
% required. This version of the class, however, uses a different mechanism for
% building questions, so we need to define custom counters for several things.
% 
% \begin{macro}{question}
% \begin{macro}{subquestion}
% \changes{2.0}{2000/09/11}{NJS New \texttt{subquestion} counter.}
% \changes{2.0.1}{2000/04/30}{NJS Removed prefixed question number from

% instead of ``1(a)''.}

% \cs{labelsubsubquestion} macro so that references now print as just ``(i)''
% instead of ``1(a)(i)''.}
% First, we define three counters for the three possible levels of question:
% top-level question, second-level sub-question or third-level sub-sub-question:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcounter{question}
\newcounter{subquestion}[question]
\newcounter{subsubquestion}[subquestion]
%    \end{macrocode}
% The three question levels are numbered as 1., (a) and (i) respectively, so we
% also need to redefine the associated \cs{the} and \cs{label} macros
% appropriately:

% \begin{environment}{question}
% The \textsf{question} environment specifies a top-level question, and produces questions numbered in the form ``1.'', ``2.'', etc. It has one mandatory argument, the number of marks allocated to the question, which is used to initialise the |qexpected| counter\footnote{If it were not for the fact that you can only refer to environment arguments in the environment preamble, the \texttt{qexpected} counter would be unnecessary.}. If the argument is left empty, default to zero for the number of marks:
% 
%    \begin{macrocode}

The environment determines whether to print ``mark'' or ``marks'' automatically, and figures out whether the number of marks will fit on the last line of the question or needs to be placed on the next line. The code for handling the line breaking is derived from an example on page 106 of \emph{The \TeX{}book}, with the addition of a \cs{leavevmode} to prevent \cs{unskip} (which can't be used in vertical mode) from crashing when the marks immediately follow a |verbatim| type environment.

% The \cs{markingschedule} macro has been replaced by the
% \textsf{markingschedule} class option. We can't map this to the
% \cs{@unsupported} macro because \cs{markingschedule} occurs in the document
% preamble. Mapping it to \cs{@unsupported} causes \TeX\ to blow up for some
% reason. It's safe enough to ignore it.
