If ISTA 440 at your institution has a specific focus (exact title or topics to test), reply with that; otherwise I’ll proceed using a reasonable default: "Advanced Information Visualization and Interactive Systems." Proceed?
I’ll create an outstanding exam for ISTA 440. I’ll assume this is a graduate-level course on information/technology topics (e.g., data visualization, information systems, or human–computer interaction). I’ll produce: a course-covering exam with instructions, a mix of question types (multiple-choice, short answer, problems, practical tasks), point values, and an answer key with model solutions and grading rubric.
