With increasing student numbers and decreasing budgets, undergraduate embedded systems education needs to turn to Computer-aided Assessment (CAA) techniques to keep down the time and effort invested into grading. When setting up the mandatory embedded systems courses for the bachelor study �Computer Engineering� at our univer sity, we thus payed particular attention to employ CAA compatible exam styles which ultimately allow courses to be conducted in a distance learning setting. In this paper, we present our theory exam style, which mainly consists of true/false questions, describe our experiences with the ex ams, motivate our changes to improve student acceptance, and discuss possible improvements of our current exam style.
