nbgrader is a flexible tool for creating and grading assignments in the Jupyter Notebook (Kluyver et al., 2016).nbgrader allows instructors to create a single, master copy of an assignment, including tests and canonical solutions.From the master copy, a student version is generated without the solutions, thus obviating the need to maintain two separate versions.nbgrader also automatically grades submitted assignments by executing the notebooks and storing the results of the tests in a database.After auto-grading, instructors can manually grade free responses and provide partial credit using the formgrader Jupyter Notebook extension.Finally, instructors can use nbgrader to leave personalized feedback for each student's submission, including comments as well as detailed error information.
