AUTOMATED ASSESSMENT AND GRADING OF COMPUTERIZED ALGORITHMS

摘要

A grading system and method for grading a user solution to a computing assignment are presented. The method includes receiving a program code submitted by a user, wherein the received program code is the user solution to the computing assignment; activating at least one code processing engine, wherein each code processing engine is a secured isolated execution environment; executing the program code in the at least one activated code processing engine to produce an answer; determining a grade for the answer based on an expected answer and an approximate grading function, wherein the approximate grading function is determined based on a type of the computing assignment; and returning the grade to the user.
