QuickFeed

Instant Feedback on Programming Assignments

The goal of QuickFeed is to strengthen the learning outcomes for students in programming courses with near instantaneous feedback to students. To this end, we have built a web frontend and backend system for immediate automated feedback on student submitted programming exercises.

With QuickFeed we have experienced a lower barrier for students to approach teaching staff to ask for help, since students know what to ask for, making the interactions with teaching staff more useful. Hence, being relived of the laborious task of reviewing assignments for approval, gives the teaching staff the opportunity to focus on helping those students that otherwise struggle to pass.

Testimonials from Former Students

In this section, we include excerpts of testimonials from former students that have been exposed to QuickFeed.

Bachelor student Christian Fosli said:

Continuous feedback from QuickFeed before the assignment deadline gave us opportunity to try again. Integration with GitHub and continuous integration used by QuickFeed mimic working practices used in the software industry, which is an extremely important skill set.

Master student Simen André Jakobsen said:

Without QuickFeed, students must endure a lengthy wait to show that the logic of their code works as expected. This is old school and time-consuming, shifting the student’s focus to getting approved, rather than learning. With QuickFeed it becomes more motivating to pass the tests.
