Abstract

About twice a year, typically at the start of a new semester, the SIGCSE community listserv comes alive with a discussion of tools for grading. This panel formed from a challenge to submit novel perspectives on grading. Of the dozen replies posted within 48 hours, the assembled panelists provide differing perspectives on the same point: let's return to building tools and methodologies for teaching rather than focusing on grading
