Description¶
GAME is a generic automated marking environment developed by Blumenstein et al. for assessing university programming assignments in Java, C++, and C against instructor-supplied marking schemas and model solutions.
Components¶
- GAME: generic automated marking environment for programming assignments: GAME is a system that "automatically assess programming assignments written in a variety of languages based on the "structure" of the source code and the correctness of the program's output." It currently marks Java, C++ and C programs. Instructors supply a "marking schema" specifying file locations and the model solution for each assessment item. (Blumenstein et al. (2008))
Claims¶
