Code repurposing as an assessment tool
Joseph A. Sant · International Conference on Software Engineering · 2015
Code repurposing is often used for system development and to learn both APIs and programming techniques. Repurposing code typically requires that you understand the code first. This makes it an excellent candidate as an assessment tool in computer science and software engineering education. This strategy might also have a special application in combatting plagiarism. This paper discusses experiences using code repurposing as an assessment tool in different courses and with different sections.
