Python Assessment

NCEA-CodeRunner Student information

NCEA Automated Marking Tool

This tool, developed by Henry Hickman of the University of Canterbury provides students with a portal to practice and write Python Code and get feedback on how well your code meets the criteria that you will be assessed against.

You will have used the tool already. But now you only get limited feedback! You will also have to sit this under exam conditions in class over one or more lessons (depending on your teachers decision) It takes probably 2 hours to complete.

So make sure you write AND test all your code inside the application.

Your teacher will give you a join code to the course that they have set up for you.

The assessment tool "marks" the code against the criteria for AS92004 and gives your teacher a complete report and suggested mark.

Teacher judgement is final.

Teachers read the information below for how to apply and get started.

You will be contacted shortly afterwards by the University of Canterbury with more instructions and what to do next.

Videos are below explaining everthing. Please watch them!

This tool will generate a report for each student that participates. This report will "suggest" a mark based on the criteria but you will have have to verify the results. The automation can check for comments but a human is needed to ensure a couple of things that are very difficult for a computer to judge accurately.

Make sure you have read and understand the standard: https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/nqfdocs/ncea-resource/achievements/2024/as92004.pdf

You must pay particular attention to the Merit and above marks to ensure:

The comments "clarify the purpose of code sections"
The variables are "succinct and descriptive"

You may print out the students reports as PDF to be used for moderation or cross marking.
