Abstract
Grading homework is a major time-consuming process for professors. This is especially true of computer science professors who each teach multiple sections and classes. Our Senior design project, Gradel is a web application created to help professors with this task. It does this in two ways, firstly by allowing the professors to create customized assignments, problems, test cases and correct solutions. After a class is created our application compares the student's submission with the professor’s solution to automatically grade the submissions. This is also very helpful for students, by giving them instant feedback it allows them to make corrections or get feedback immediately instead of days later. Secondly it records and stores students submissions allowing a professor to easily see how their class is doing with a table of each individual’s grades on the different assignments. A second key feature of Gradel is the coding contest aspect. This allows professors to hold contests on campus such as the annual programming contest. The contests also have automatic grading as well as additional features for contest judges and a live scoreboard for all participants. Thus Gradel simplifies the process of homework creation, submission, modification, and grading making life easier for professors and students alike.
