Abstract

Instructors frequently use automated grading in programming classes. Institutions have developed graders for C++, Java, MATLAB, and many other programming languages. LabVIEW is a graphical programming language that people frequently use for data acquisition. Since there were no automated grading programs for LabVIEW, a computerized grading system has been developed. With the grading program, students email the LabVIEW files they have written, and the program provides their assignment score and feedback concerning missing program functions or wires. Students then can resubmit their work until the due date. The grading program was implemented in a LabVIEW programming course at California Baptist University using NI’s LabVIEW Core 1 and Core 2 curricula. When using the grading system, students appreciated the immediate feedback from the program, and the instructor/teaching assistant’s grading time was reduced.
