Understanding Gradescope Feedback CSSE2002

When you have submitted your assignment to Gradescope, you will receive feedback on you work. If you submit before the due date you will receive some “pre-checks” on you assigment. Full feedback will be available at the time of grade release.

Before Due Date

Before the due date of the assignment, submitting your assignment to Gradescope will allow you to receive “pre-checks” on your submitted code.

These checks are:

• Compilation - checks if your program compiles, if not, give the compilation error output explaining why your code failed to compile.
  

  

• Conformance - checks if your program conforms to the provided specification.
  

  

• Functionality - a small number of selected functionality tests may be provided for you to see the functionality of your program. These tests are a subset of the full suite of tests used to mark your assignment’s functionality.

  

• JUnit Test Compilation - checks if your provided JUnit tests compile with our solution. If your tests do not compile with our solution then you will receive 0 marks for the JUnit section of the assignment
  

  

• Style - automatically checks your program for style violations. These violations will be deducted from your total style marks.

  

Assignment Feedback

When the assignment grades are published you will be able to view you final grades and feedback. The screen will be similar to the feedback explained above, except there will be three main differences.

• Full Functionality - You will be able to see the results from all the functionality tests for the assignment and whether you passed or failed each test.

• JUnit Results - You will be able to see the results from your tests. Your tests are run against the solution to the assignment and a number of faulty solutions. Your mark is determined by the number of faulty solutions that pass fewer of your tests than are passed by the actual solution. The name in parentheses tells you which of your test classes that faulty solution was accessing, along with a brief identifier for the faulty solution.

  

• Style Feedback - You can view your full style feedback by navigating to the “Code” tab on the results page.
  

  

  
  

  This will show you your manual style grade. To see detailed feedback, click on the question name in green (in this case, “Manual Style”) which will expand to show the grading rubric and deductions. Files with comments will have a speech box containing the number of comments in that file. To view the comments, click on the file name to expand it.
