On September 29th, 2025 the Data Science Initiative organized a symposium on Student Assessment and Data Science.

We showcased the automated generation of tests/exams, shared experiences on digital exams and discussed student assessment in times of ChatGPT.

This event was offered as a didactic training for teachers via BOKU Trainingspass:
