Leveraging BART to Assess CS1 C++ Programming Assignments using Rubric-based Criteria
This paper investigates rubric-aware, multitask fine-tuning of transformer models for automated grading of introductory C++ programming assignments, with the goal of producing grade predictions that better reflect instructor grading behavior than general-purpose LLMs. Using multi-semester CS1 data, student submissions are paired with numeric scores, letter-grade buckets, and assignment rubrics, then preprocessed into unified sequences for transformer input.
