Check Problem

This is very rough tool I've used to check student work against a collection of previous submissions and solutions online.

Over a couple of years, it became a little too hacky for me and I started the process of re-factoring it.

I have not used it since, but I believe it still works if used carefully.

Overview

Distribution Code

A directory which contains any distribution code for each problem you want to check.

Solutions Archive

A directory which contains a subdirectory for each problem (named for the problem). Each of those directories should have subdirectories each of which contains a solution to the problem (named for the problem).

It should make sense once you have tried to use this.

I use a git repo which I forked from another maintained by dkiang and I store this in a directory that is a sibling of this directory. These solutions SHOULD NOT be published online! I keep them in a directory which is a sibling of this directloy and I highly recommend doing that. If you don't, you'll need to adjust your settings in settings.py

Student Code

An empty directory which will contain your students' code. You will use the setup_students.py script here to clone your students' repos to this directory.

Setup

Ensure settings.py is configured for your directory and path names
Ensure each of your students has submitted at least one problem using submit50.
Add the GitHub usernames for each of your students to students.txt one per line.
Run setup_students.py using Python 3

Checking Problems

Esure you've added any distribution code to the correct directory.
Run check_problem.py passing the submit50 slug as the only argument
The script produces a lot of output, some(much?) of which is impossible to read.
You should find a directory named f{problem_name}_results
Navigate to that folder and launch index.html to view results
