Odds are most people who are doing it now are doing it wrong <em>even setting aside philosophical and moral issues</em>, just on the technical front.Shriram Krishnamurthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956763366608000839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-53635226244137348942018-03-05T16:51:59.922-05:002018-03-05T16:51:59.922-05:00If all we wanted to do was grade the ability to ty...If all we wanted to do was grade the ability to type code then this is a grading solution. I could care less if a student can type code. The student could have his mother type it for all I care. I want to know if a student can design/develop a program. Can they start with a project, i.e. design and write a program that does a task, and then build the inputs, outputs and all the stuff in between. A programming course should not be a syntax and typing class. It should be a design class. Auto grades will not evaluate that.Garthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-19828608427377541932018-03-05T08:47:04.058-05:002018-03-05T08:47:04.058-05:00Auto graders can be used for simple things but you...Auto graders can be used for simple things but you really need to look at student work. Tools that help guide you and make looking at students work more efficient on the other hand can be terrific.<br /><br />I wrote a bit about grading a year or so ago: <a href="https://cestlaz.github.io/posts/2015-10-16-graders.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Mike Zamanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069276938781711576noreply@blogger.com
