The STACK computer aided assessment system (http://www.stack.bham.ac.uk) uses the computer algebra system Maxima to automatically grade student's answers to mathematical questions, providing immediate feedback on the mathematical properties of their answers. The design philosophy; practical implementation; details of question authoring; and feedback from student users will be discussed.
