### **Key Features Implemented**
|
||||
1. **Dual-Purpose Content Creation**
|
||||
- Single source generates both learning and assessment materials
|
||||
- TinyTorch markers for self-learning (`#| exercise_start/end`)
|
||||
- NBGrader markers for auto-grading (`### BEGIN/END SOLUTION`)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **100-Point Module System**
|
||||
- Setup Module: 30 (functions) + 35 (SystemInfo) + 35 (DeveloperProfile) = 100 points
|
||||
- Comprehensive hidden tests for automatic grading
|
||||
- Proper difficulty progression (easy → medium → hard)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Complete CLI Integration**
|
||||
- `tito nbgrader init` - Initialize nbgrader environment
|
||||
- `tito nbgrader generate` - Create assignments from modules
|
||||
- `tito nbgrader release` - Release assignments to students
|
||||
- `tito nbgrader collect` - Collect student submissions
|
||||
- `tito nbgrader autograde` - Auto-grade submissions
|
||||
- `tito nbgrader feedback` - Generate feedback
|
||||
- Batch operations for all commands
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Scalable Architecture**
|
||||
- Handles 100+ students with automated workflows
|
||||
- Consistent grading across all submissions
|
||||
- Comprehensive analytics and reporting
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Next Steps for Production
|
||||
|
||||
### **Phase 1: Environment Setup (Next Actions)**
|
||||
```bash

## 💡 How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
### **For Instructors**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Write once with dual markers
|
||||
def hello_tinytorch():
|
||||
"""Display TinyTorch welcome message"""
|
||||
#| exercise_start
|
||||
#| hint: Load ASCII art from file
|
||||
#| points: 10
|
||||
|
||||
### BEGIN SOLUTION
|
||||
# Complete implementation
|
||||
### END SOLUTION
|
||||
|
||||
#| exercise_end
|
||||
|
||||
### BEGIN HIDDEN TESTS
|
||||
def test_hello_tinytorch():
|
||||
"""Test function (10 points)"""
|
||||
# Comprehensive test
|
||||
### END HIDDEN TESTS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Generates Two Student Versions**
|
||||
1. **Self-Learning**: Rich hints, educational scaffolding, self-paced
|
||||
2. **Assignment**: Auto-graded, formal assessment, immediate feedback
|
||||
