The Overwhelming Grading Challenge
Edward Hartono, an Assistant Professor in Management Information Systems at the Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics, University of Delaware, teaches Introduction to Programming using Python. With a mix of assignments, quizzes, projects, and exams, grading over 120 students was a key concern.
Finding the Perfect Solution
Edward wanted to find a tool that could help students get enough practice opportunities, something that resonates with his teaching philosophy. “I believe that the best way to learn programming is by just doing it. And so, we give them unlimited attempts to complete assignments.” After browsing various tools, he found CodeGrade to be the best option.
Revolutionizing Course Management
Implementing CodeGrade brought significant improvements to Edward's course. "It has changed how I manage my courses and assess my students. This platform has made the grading process so much smoother and more efficient. I love the fact that I can give students unlimited attempts on every assignment," he shared. This feature motivated students to practice, helping them improve their skills.
