This is where the Web-CAT AdvisoryBoard 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 , , and . See HelpOnSmileys 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.
