Gunter, Elsa L. Nip, Terence 2016-07-07T19:58:10Z 2016-07-07T19:58:10Z 2016-04-29 2016-05 This thesis discusses the effects of frequent, secure automated testing on student performance in CS 421, a class titled Programming Languages and Compilers at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, and examines in-depth the tools utilized to enable such testing. In particular, it looks into the use of PrairieLearn and the Computer-based Testing Center as a testing platform and service to determine the ramifications of automated testing. It was found that students experienced up to a 12 percent increase in their final grade in Fall 2015 over students in Fall 2014. Additionally, it was shown that the use of custom-built tools on PrairieLearn in enabling testing of Programming Languages-related concepts did not adversely affect and in some cases, statistically significantly increased student grades.
