This is where the Web-CAT Advisory Board maintains its list of prioritized issues on how the feedback that Web-CAT provides to students can be improved.
Priorities can be indicated using the symbols {1} , {2} , and {3} . See Help On Smileys for other symbols that may be used.
Feedback Issues and Suggestions
This section contains active feedback issues from students.
- More useful hints: The hints from instructor-written test cases need to provide more value.
- Most importantly, hints are most useful if they give some indication of what was going on during the failure, rather than just what kind of failure (or symptom) occurred.
- It is bad if Web-CAT submissions are open too late, and too close to the due date!!
- It is also bad if the assignment specification changes a lot, especially if it changes a lot once submissions are open!
Feedback Issues Resolved
Once student-reported feedback issues have been resolved, they will be moved to this section.
