Saved a checkpoint:
Changed the storm to an electrical fault, so it's more plausibly instantaneous.
Improved some of the wording in the advice.

I've changed the wording to be, I think, clearer. I've not marked it ready to use, as I would be grateful for a second opinion.

I have made the changes you suggested and made sure the LCM will not be either of the given numbers.

Part a is a bit too simple for an incoming university student.
This question should focus just on calculating least common multiples. Remove part a, leaving the nice wordy question. You could have another very simple separate question asking to find the LCM of two numbers when:
- they're coprime;
- their GCD is bigger than 1 but not equal to either number;
- one is a multiple of the other.
I think it should be "platform A" instead of "track A".
I got periods of 12 and 6 minutes for the two platforms - could you make sure that the LCM isn't either of the given numbers?
Bradley Bush commented 7 years, 5 months ago
Good concise question, just a few notes:
- Could the statement be a more formal definition of a multiple followed by what you've already written as a way of thinking of it?
- The first part was really straight forward although it made me feel guilty for not instantly remembering my $16$ times tables.
- For the second part, I think that you need to either make it clear that a train needs to be present on exactly the same minute to clash or maybe think of a different example so that using multiples makes more sense. I.E. if the trains were stopping 1 minute apart, surely they would clash too?
- Maybe you could phrase the question in an alternate reailty where there has yet to be a storm and both tracks are working then just ask for the time when there is a train on both tracks? I'm struggling to be very imaginative here.
- In the advice, it might be good to hint to the fact you are caling lowest common multiples LCM before you start using it by in the first instance of saying lowest common multiples just putting lowest common multiples (LCM) for reference?
Other than that, great question, I learned some times tables :)

For each combination of answer and choice, specify the number of marks to add or subtract when the student picks it.
For each combination of answer and choice, write 1 if the student should tick it, or 0 if they should leave it unticked.
Test that the marking algorithm works
Check that the marking algorithm works with different sets of variables and student answers using the interface below.
Create unit tests to save expected results and to document how the algorithm should work.
There's an error which means the marking algorithm can't run:
This is an extension type part. There is no expected answer, and it's assumed that the marking depends on interactions within the part's prompt.
You can test this part's marking algorithm by interacting with the rendering of the part's prompt below.

When you need to change the way this part works beyond the available options, you can write JavaScript code to be executed at the times described below.
To account for errors made by the student in earlier calculations, replace question variables with answers to earlier parts.
In order to create a variable replacement, you must define at least one variable and one other part.
Variable | Answer to use | Must be answered? | |
---|---|---|---|
The variable replacements you've chosen will cause the following variables to be regenerated each time the student submits an answer to this part:
These variables have some random elements, which means they're not guaranteed to have the same value each time the student submits an answer. You should define new variables to store the random elements, so that they remain the same each time this part is marked.
This part can't be reached by the student.
Add a "next part" reference to this part from another part.
