TH3: Automated Marking in Undergraduate Programming Classes

This Teaching Hour is a Keynote as part of CSE Group Members' Meeting

Keynote (12-1pm)

Title: Automated Marking in Undergraduate Programming Classes

Organiser and Host: Pawel Orzechowski, Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh

Speaker: Martin Goodfellow, Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Strathclyde

 

Martin will talk about a paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3633053.3633060) that he and his colleagues from the University of Strathclyde published.

An excerpt from the abstract likely summarises it best: "This paper details how automated marking was successfully utilised in multiple undergraduate classes with a programming element at the University of Strathclyde.

We made use of two automated systems: CodeRunner, and one similar in-house system, Browser Automated Marking (BAMjs).

We provide some example questions and discuss how its use has affected student performance as well as hearing student feedback on the approach."
