  • Abstract
    One way to provide feedback to independent novice programmers is by leveraging experienced programmers as code reviewers. To provide this feedback at a large scale, experienced programmers can author heuristic programs, or rules, that automatically determine whether a novice program should receive certain feedback. This work presents the lessons learned from designing a tool to enable rule authoring.
