WEB INTERFACE WITH RPA FOR REVIEW OF EXAMS FOR THE ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES COURSE IN C++ CODE

Abstract

HE REPORT DETAILS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PYTHON WEB SOLUTION DESIGNED TO AUTOMATE GRADING AND PLAGIARISM DETECTION IN C++ ALGORITHM TESTS AND EXAMS. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, TOOLS SUCH AS CPPLINT, SUBPROCESSES, AND OPENPYXL ARE USED, WHICH ALLOW CHECKING CODING STANDARDS AND MANIPULATING EXCEL FILES. THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH A WEB INTERFACE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH BROWSERS, THUS ELIMINATING THE NEED TO INSTALL ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE. THIS APPROACH PROVIDES TEACHERS WITH THE ABILITY TO GRADE PRACTICES AND EXAMS AUTOMATICALLY, PROVIDING PRACTICALITY AND EFFICIENCY, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LOCATION AND AS LONG AS THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. THE WEB INTERFACE IS INTUITIVE, ALLOWING USERS TO UPLOAD SOLUTION FILES, RUN THE QUALIFICATION AND RETRIEVE THE RESULTS IN FOLDERS GENERATED BY THE SAME PROGRAM ON THE USER'S COMPUTER. IN ADDITION, THE PLAGIARISM DETECTION FUNCTIONALITY HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO GUARANTEE THE ORIGINALITY OF THE SOLUTIONS PRESENTED. IN TERMS OF RESULTS, THE SOLUTION HAS PROVEN TO OPTIMALLY MEET THE ESTABLISHED OBJECTIVES. PARTICULARLY NOTEWORTHY IS THE GRAPHICAL DISPLAY OF STATISTICS DIRECTLY IN THE CLASSROOM, PROVIDING AN ADDITIONAL TOOL TO EVALUATE AND UNDERSTAND STUDENT PERFORMANCE. © 2024 LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN CONSORTIUM OF ENGINEERING INSTITUTIONS.
