XP practices applied to grading

Published: 03 March 2006 Publication History

Abstract

The grading of student work is of the utmost importance to a computer science educator. This paper examines the practices of eXtreme Programming (XP) and considers how they apply to the tasks of assigning grades to student work, even as those grades must both evaluate the student objectively and communicate with her personally.
