[Chicago] Testing Submitted Python Scripts

[Tim Ottinger]

How many students? If you distribute live USB sticks, you can have them work
with a standardized toolset
and you can distribute assignments, pre-written tests, etc.  A friend of
mine does this when he teaches
C++ (via TDD) and has been pretty happy with it. Afterward, the student
keeps the stick and has his old
work and whatever free references you've left him on it.

OTOH, the google thing sounds good.

When I was left to grade a Java language course's submissions, we ended up
standardizing the
grading as best we could, and hand-checking the solutions.  I learned more
java in order to do the
grading, which I don't recommend, but it worked out pretty well.

I'm interested in how the google thing works out. Please keep us posted. I
may want to do
something rather like that in the future.
