TSJ update was ready a couple of days ago, but it still needs a final proof and I'm under the gun to finish grading exams. That kind of suspends everything for a few days.
Who knew such a tiny book could hold so many effing horsewords?
I'll try to have it ready sometime Tuesday evening.

Why does work always interrupt important Pony things for everyone!
Good luck, Trick.
Take your time and do what needs to be done. But still.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Darn students, getting in the way Pony! You should fail them all for being such pests, which would also free you up for more important things
you know, if you're in CS and you're grading manually you're probably doing something wrong. There should at least be a delta W in there somewhere.

Coding is half art.

Yes, and 80% standardization and 100% automation after initial set up. At least *some* of your grading should be plug and play into test cases- if for no other reason than that's something coders have to do for certain parts of industry. Granted, this is weaker than in math- but just barely.

Well, this is a software engineering class for a university degree heavy in theory, not a class in how to write code in X programming language. We have a lot of short-answer questions, diagrams, etc. We want to see evidence that they understand component-based system design, and while the coding is an important part, it's only about half the test. Plus, minor errors in coding are fine. Those aren't what we're looking for.

Just light the tests on fire and toast marshmallows with them.

which makes lack of automation less head desky, but doesn't make it completely immune to modernization. Short answers and essays still need to be graded by hand but electrical engineering diagrams (for example) can be automated for some subsets. Sounds like a cool class though. Are your lectures online or paywalled?
