Grading student programs using ASSYST
Open accessAbstract
The task of grading solutions to student programming exercises is laborious and error-prone. We have developed a software tool called ASSYST that is designed to relieve a tutor of much of the burden of assessing such programs. ASSYST offers a graphical interface that can be used to direct all aspects of the grading process, and it considers a wide range of criteria in its automatic assessment. Experience with the system has been encouraging.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
