Automated assessment has been shown to greatly simplify the process of assessing students' programs. However, manual assessment still offers benefits to both students and tutors. We introduce Gradeer, a hybrid assessment tool, which allows tutors to leverage the advantages of both automated and manual assessment. The tool features a modular design, allowing new grading functionality to be added. Gradeer directly assists manual grading, by automatically loading code inspectors, running students' programs, and allowing grading to be stopped and resumed in place at a later time. We used Gradeer to assess an end of year assignment for an introductory Java programming course, and found that its hybrid approach offers several benefits.

平地机：开源模块化混合平地机

事实证明，自动评估可以大大简化评估学生课程的过程。但是，手动评估仍然为学生和导师带来好处。我们引入了Gradeer，这是一种混合评估工具，它使教师可以利用自动评估和手动评估的优势。该工具采用模块化设计，允许添加新的分级功能。分级器可通过自动加载代码检查器，运行学生的程序，并允许在以后的某个时间停止和恢复分级来直接帮助手动分级。我们使用Gradeer评估了Java编程入门课程的年终作业，并发现其混合方法提供了许多好处。
