Automated code evaluation of computer programming sessions with MATLAB Grader

Publicated to:2021 World Engineering Education Forum/Global Engineering Deans Council (Weef/Gedc). 500-505 - 2021-01-01 (), DOI: 10.1109/WEEF/GEDC53299.2021.9657355

Abstract

Automatic grading of code and computational practices offers several beneficial practical and pedagogical advantages and is now possible using a variety of techniques. Recently, MathWorks has introduced a native solution for MATLAB code: MATLAB Grader. This web-based interface facilitates task submission and automatic grading based on preprogrammed criteria. The subject of Mechatronics (DISA-ETSINF-UPV) was used as a test where the in -class grading of some of the computer programming labs sessions have been replaced by automatically graded assignments, mainly using the MATLAB Grader platform.
