Option to submit original exam forms and official solutions

[mathoory]

Hey, First of all, tscanf is super useful for me! thanks for the work you've put in it! Usually when I start preparing for exams, I prefer to have to original exam form. Currently, I have to manually download and compare files found on Moodle \ random WhatsApp groups with scans on tscans. Also, official solutions sometimes contain useful help. I think that hosting scans, official forms, and official solutions could be very useful and convenient.

What is your opinion about such a feature ?

Hi Mattan, thanks for the feedback. I can imagine how having original forms and official solutions can be convenient for students, but there are several things to consider:

• UI - I'd like to keep the interface simple, and the new forms have to be placed somewhere on the page. I need to give it some thought if I decide to add something like this. For now, it's possible to add such documents and describe them properly in the comments. Several such documents were submitted, but not many.
• It's more relevant for some courses, and less relevant for others. For example, there are courses which conveniently index past exam forms and solutions on the course website. For other courses perhaps such forms are just not available. So the question here is: is the amount of courses for which this feature is relevant significant?
• And probably the most important question - are students going to invest time in contributing these forms and solutions? Without that, the functionality won't be very useful in practice.
