Expanding the Horizons of Autograding: Innovative Questions at UBC
Autograding’s popularity has grown due to increasing class sizes and the need to reduce grading load while ensuring grading quality. Autograding has conventionally been used for multiple choice questions, fill in the blank questions, or to check code correctness. In this work, we discuss the use of autograders at Anon-Uni and some non-conventional ways we have implemented autograding in our curricula. We reflect upon our experiences with autograder integration and use in our courses and discuss the broader benefits, implications, and considerations of this pedagogical choice.
