Abstract:This paper explores the automation of grading the programming exams to lighten the load for the teachers while maintaining high grading accuracy. The research involves two phases: a literature analysis and a prototyping phase. During the first phase, this research will analyze potential ways to automate the grading process, while also considering the potential drawbacks each idea could bring. The analysis will be a foundation for the next phase, which will involve creating a proof-of-concept grading system for the first-year Python programming exams at the University of Twente. The effectiveness of this tool is evaluated by comparing the efficiency and accuracy of automated grading with traditional manual grading. The developed prototype demonstrated a strong positive correlation with the manual grading results, though further refinements are needed to realize its full potential.
