Automated Computer Program Evaluation and Projects -- Our Experiences

This paper provides a few approaches to automating computer programming and project submission tasks, that we have been following for the last six years and have found to be successful. The approaches include using CodeRunner with Learning Management System (LMS) integration for programming practice and evaluation, and Git (GitHub) for project submissions and automatic code evaluation. In this paper, we describe the details of how we set up the tools and customized those for computer science courses. Based on our experiences, we also provide a few insights on using these tools for effective learning.
