Abstract

Many instructors believe that the introductory computer science course is one of the most difficult in the curriculum to teach. One of the biggest challenges is in providing meaningful feedback rapidly to students. Our philosophy requires that faculty be involved with all aspects of evaluating student work. This paper describes the pluses and minuses of our pedagogical approach and our tool that helps this faculty to meet the challenge.
