Not every one is a male.

I don't see it as problematic because the purpose of this site is to help people become better developers by writing better code. If this happens to give someone a better grade, so be it. Generally responses don't rewrite entire chunks of code, but give recommendations for improvement and examples of how to rewrite small sections. This is no different than what someone will get at on-campus tutoring labs. | |

| Jan 20, 2011 at 8:51 | comment | added | greatwolf | I don't know, I'd imagine if a teacher was on the fence on whether to grade an assignment with an 'A' or a 'B' -- code quality could make all the difference there. When I first started programming, my code was pretty bad. I remember my instructor writing comments on my assignment like 'Yuck!'. | |
| Jan 20, 2011 at 6:14 | comment | added | LRE | I'm not quite so sure as you about the way grading goes but 'twas many years ago for me ;-) If indeed we can help / teach without artificially inflating someone's grade then great. I'm just concerned that we may be open to doing people's work for them. | |
