The renewed interest in embedding computational thinking in formal education has undoubtedly been an important stimulus for such a wide uptake\nbsp{}[cite:@wingComputationalThinking2006].

Negative points were related to differences between the students’ local execution environments and the environment in which Dodona runs the tests, and the strictness with which the tests are evaluated.
Other negative feedback was mostly related to individual courses the students were taking instead of the platform itself.

Initially the course was offered twice a year in the first and second term, but from academic year 2014--2015 onwards it was only offered in the first term.
The course is taken by a mix of undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students enrolled in various study programmes (mainly formal and natural sciences, but not computer science), with 442 students enrolled for the 2021--2022 edition[fn:: https://dodona.be/courses/773/].

In addition to the mandatory assignments, students can further elaborate on their programming skills by tackling additional programming exercises they select from a pool of over 900 exercises linked to the ten programming topics.
Submissions for these additional exercises are not taken into account in the final grade.

Evaluating mandatory assignments therefore doesn't require any human intervention, except for writing unit tests when designing the assignments, and is performed entirely by our Python judge.
In our experience, most students traditionally perform much better on mandatory assignments compared to test and exam assignments\nbsp{}[cite:@glassFewerStudentsAre2022], given the possibilities for collaboration on mandatory assignments.

The approach is privacy-friendly as we only need to process metadata on student submissions for programming assignments and results from automated and manual assessment extracted from Dodona.
Given that cohort sizes are large enough, historical data from a single course edition are already enough to make accurate predictions.
