PASS: An Automated System for Program Assessment.

Thorburn, Gareth; Rowe, Glenn

Computers & Education, v29 n4 p195-206 Dec 1997

Unlike most program assessment systems, Program Assessment using Specified Solutions (PASS), evaluates student C programs by assessing the way a problem was solved by performing a comparison of the submitted program with a solution plan. This article describes PASS, its use of instructor specified solution plans, assessment and feedback systems, and equivalent functions. (PEN)
