Bringing together manual and automated code assessment

Abstract

© 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. This paper presents an effort to incorporate assessment of manually assessed aspects in an automated code assessment process. Fully automated code assessment has its drawbacks which makes manual assessment of some aspects of student solutions a necessity. In most situations during the assessment of code written by students the most appropriate approach would thus be splitting the process in two phases - automatic plus manual. This might result in two completely distinct procedures for each of the phases. The solution proposed in this paper tries to join these procedures into one uniform process keeping the benefits from each.
