A Systematic Literature Review of Automated Feedback Generation for Programming Exercises (2018, background): “[79], authors select papers and tools based on unknown criteria.”
Experiences from Using Code Explanations Generated by Large Language Models in a Web Software Development E-Book (2022, methodology): “through the use of automated grading systems [1, 18, 30].”
Automatic Generation of Programming Exercises and Code Explanations Using Large Language Models (2022, background): “One common approach for providing feedback in introductory programming courses is the use of automated assessment systems [2, 35, 60], which at the minimum provide feedback on the correctness of programming assignments submitted for evaluation.”
Crowdsourcing programming assignments with CrowdSorcerer (2018, neutral): “It allows the generation of free-form assignments where testing is not restricted to specific method signatures, while still seeking a balance in making the assignment easy to test through a simple input/output -mechanism, which is common in automated assessment [11].”
The effect of automatic assessment on novice programming: Strengths and limitations of existing systems (2018, background): “Mooshak [27] is a web-based system developed mainly for handling on-line evaluations of programming competitions, where the quality is constrained by time [20].”
