Requirements
What I needed
While managing a large class, it was difficult to see my students at a glance. Additionally, the time it took to upload grades to my LMS was inefficient. Codio solved many issues that I had in this matter, however, the biggest challenge was exams. I wanted to have exams that were as close as possible to programming interviews, and the Codio interface allows me to offer this to my students.
