Marks

Show correct answer on reveal?

Show score feedback icon?

Show the input hint?

Code language

The language that the student's code will be written in.

Correct answer

xxxxxxxxxx
 
import numpy
numpy.std(sample)

A correct answer to the part.

Substitute question variables into the correct answer?

If ticked, then JME expressions between curly braces will be evaluated and substituted into the correct answer.

If not ticked, then the correct answer will be displayed exactly as it is.

Show stdout?

If ticked, the STDOUT produced after running the student's code will be shown in the feedback.

Show stderr?

If ticked, the STDERR produced after running the student's code will be shown in the feedback.

Show errors produced by marking tests?

Placeholder

xxxxxxxxxx
 
import numpy
​
# Now compute the standard deviation of sample
​

Initial text for the code editor

Student code modifier

​

JME expression to modify the student's submitted code before being passed to the marking template. The student's code is available as the string variable studentAnswer.

Preamble

xxxxxxxxxx
 
from random import random
sample = [random()*10 for i in range(20)]

This code is run before the student's code. Define anything that the student's code or your tests need.

Postamble

xxxxxxxxxx
 
studentAnswer = _
import numpy

This code is run after the student's code but before the validation and unit tests.

Format postamble output as code?

If ticked, any output produced by the postamble will be formatted in monospace font, with whitespace preserved. If not ticked, it'll be presented as prose text or HTML.

Marking tests

xxxxxxxxxx
 
[
  ["Standard deviation computed", 1, """
studentAnswer == numpy.std(sample)
"""]
]

A list of tests used to mark the student's answer.
Each item is a list with three values:

The name of the test, shown to the student above any feedback.
The proportion of the credit available for the part to award if this test is passed.
The code to run.

Validation tests

xxxxxxxxxx
 
[
]

A list of tests used to validate that the student's code is acceptable.
Each item is a list with two string values:

A name which will be shown to the student if the test fails.
The code to run.

Variables to include in code

xxxxxxxxxx
 
dict()

Give a dictionary mapping variable names to their values. These variables will be available in the code that is run.

Advice

The numpy function std computes the standard deviation of an array.

{code_block("import numpy\nnumpy.std(sample)","python")}
