Abstract:
Introduction During the 1997-1998 school year, answering programming exercises in the computer was introduced in the curricula of several Computer Science undergraduate courses in our department. The courses in question involved such distinct programming languages as the assembly language for the 68000 Motorola microprocessor, Prolog programming, and Graphical Users Interfaces (GUI) construction using tcl-tk [Ous94]. For this purpose a grading tool was developed whose goal was to evaluate the students programming skills better than just with written exercises. The motivation is that outside academia, program development is mostly seen as a cycle that includes program design, coding and debugging, possibly leading to recoding (or even redesign) until a program meeting the requirements is obtained. Traditional grading methods test only the design and coding skills. We wanted to test whether the students had acquired the skills required to complete the full programming cycle. A
