The New Automated Grader Project Home Page
Welcome to the home page for the New Automated Grader Project. You will
find links below to information on acquiring, installing, and using the
Grader Client Submit to submit your programs for automated grading.
The New Automated Grader is continuously under construction. Be aware
that the documentation and software provided here are still in an evolutionary
form and are subject to revision. If significant changes are made to the
Client software, that will be announced in the affected classes and on
this web page.
The New Automated Grader is a client-server application, written in
Java, that allows students in elementary programming classes to submit
their source code for testing and scoring, and receive the results by e-mail.
Since its inception in 1997, the New Automated Grader has supported program
grading for introductory courses in C/C++ and Fortran90, and been used
by over 1600 students making over 9000 submissions.
The source code for the Grader and Client are not currently available.
Student Documentation and Software for Using the Grader:
Download the Auto Grader Client Submit and Java Runtime 1.1.8
The Automated Acceptor is a client-server application, written in Java,
that allows students in any class to submit their assignments, which are
archived and timestamped. Those assignments may then be processed as desired,
by human or machine. The user interface of the Automated Acceptor
Client is the same as that for the New Automated Grader; in particular,
the installation and usage instructions are identical, althought the Acceptor
Client software is internally different.
Other Useful Software:
