Abstract
Automated assessment is commonly used across the spectrum of computing courses offered by Tertiary institutions. Such assessment is frequently intended to address the scalability of feedback that is essential for learning, and assessment for accreditation purposes. Although many reviews of automated assessment have been reported, the voices of teachers are not present. In this paper we present a variety of cases that illustrate some of the varied motivations and experiences of teaching using automated assessment.
