CODEVAL: IMPROVING STUDENT SUCCESS IN PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENTS

CodEval is a code evaluation tool that integrates with the Canvas Learning Management System to automatically evaluates students' work within few minutes of submission. This early feedback allows students catch and correct problems in their submissions before submission graded gives them clear idea quality handles tedious aspects grading, such as compiling running tests, leaving graders more time spend on qualitative aspect grading. Before using CodEval, instructors would not have view student's comprehension concept evaluated by assignment until after due date. CodeEval helps identify address gaps understanding thus successfully complete assignment. We implemented Python public API. Any instructor or grader for course can use evaluate programming assignments. developed syntax express requirements compilation parameters, inputs, outputs, command-line arguments, timeouts, exit codes, functions used, files generated, output validators, more. made open source. an easy students, graders, seamlessly Canvas. share our experience two classes total 90 multiple coding
