Beyond Functional Correctness: An Exploratory Study on the Time Efficiency of Programming Assignments
Yida Tao, Wenyan Chen, Qingyang Ye, Yao Zhao · 2024
Practical programming assignments are critical parts of programming courses in Computer Science education. Students are expected to translate programming concepts learned from lectures into executable implementations that solve the tasks outlined in the assignments. These implementations are primarily assessed based on their functional correctness, ensuring that students' code produces the expected output when provided with specific inputs.
