Evaluation of Students Through the Commits Made on the GitHub Code Repositories

Abstract

Evaluation of students in the time of the semester is made in general by homework and some tasks that the students should resolve them. For a technical course like programming or development is important to evaluate the perspective of the students that can work in coding. In this paper, we present an instrument that can help teachers in student assessment by providing support for work management and automated code evaluation. For programming subjects, it is very important for the teacher to follow the progress of all students during the semester. This would mean giving them a lot of homework and correcting them. This is very time-consuming. The tool proposed by us will make an automatic evaluation of all the commits made by the students on a GitHub repository, the teacher being able to see the evolution of all the students much faster.
