Speedgrader - The new code viewer

  • The File Tree shows file hierarchy of student’s submission
    • Click on a file to open
    • Click on a folder to expand
  • The Symbol Tree allows you to jump quickly to functions in the student’s code
    • Click on a function to jump
  • You can easily switch between submissions and files
    • Up/down arrow keys change file
    • Right/left arrow keys change submission
  • How to use new annotation system:
    • Make annotations with grade adjustments
    • Important: annotations can only be made for non-autograded problems (to preserve the original autograded score of the autograded problem)
    • Annotations grade changes summarized by the Annotations table on the right
  • New: Score for problem automatically updates after annotation score changes based on the following formula (this no longer has to be done manually on the Gradebook):

score = max_score + ∑(annotation score changes)

  • For example, a way to grade style in a deductive manner would be to set the max score for the Style problem, and make annotations with negative score for style violations and zero score for good style

UI Enhancements

  • Tables are more standardized
  • Fixed text overflowing issues on Gradebook modals
  • Improved standardization and UI for annotations on PDF submissions

Others

  • Course assistants are now able to submit assignments early
