I have a question about GitHub. Specifically, I assume it's just standard now that instead of "handing in" software engineering assignments at universities, that students simply check them into GitHub, right?
I mention this because when I was in college, version control was never mentioned, and it was the first thing I had to learn when I got a real job doing software engineering. It seems that universities teaching "software engineering" should start with this as basics.
LOL My experience is that most teachers don't even have experience with Git. I've seen students publishing their assignments, but it usually results in students copying each other.
Protip for college grads: A lot of large organizations give take home technical coding interviews to applicants, so often searching GitHub will yield results from prior applicants. Cross check against LinkedIn to see if they got hired for the role. Viola, "code reuse"!
Many university classes are taught entirely with web IDEs. GitHub Classroom (https://classroom.github.com/ ) is also growing in the education space. The instructor creates a base repo then makes a "clone link". Students get a private repo with the base contents, commits changes.
Here's a talk I gave about this at SIGCSE. https://www.cs.rice.edu/~dwallach/sigcse2019.pdf …
Lol nope. I used git and GitHub private repos for homework (not taught in class) but never turned anything in via that system. It was either some LMS or on paper, or via some Homebrew solution the Prof hacked together
Sometimes. Ideally it's a private repo to which they've invited the prof. It also helps in interesting ways related to academic integrity.
Is there a copy/paste analysis done on the repos? lolz
Never learned how to check in my punch-cards
