Using Code4Brownies as a teaching assistant

The main task of a TA is to help the teacher provide individualized feedback to students and give brownie points to student work. The main workflow of a TA is as follows:

• Get student submissions. One at a time; a few at a time; or all at once.
• Optionally, give feedback to a student.
• Give brownie points to each submission. Or dequeue or requeue it.

Additionally, a TA can do other tasks, such as.

(1) Get and share notes with the teacher.

(2) Track how many submissions are on the queue.
