Abstract
We have been using a combination of conventional and on-line programming examinations for the past 3 years in our first year programming courses. We plan to continue using on-line components because of the positive feedback from both students and faculty. We describe the operational and pedagogical lessons we have learned, illustrating problems encountered and our solutions, in the hope that others considering on-line examinations may also benefit from our experiences.
