Why Use CEILIDH ?

CEILIDH provides the following:

• On line course notes

• Automatic Assessment of C programs

• Template programs are provided to start you on an exercise. This means less typing.

• Automatic Compilation of programs

• Programs can be run against test data and user specified data

• CEILIDH will be used to help mark your coursework.

• You are allowed to resubmit your program for marking by CEILIDH. This lets you try to improve your mark.

PLEASE NOTE:

• CEILIDH marks a program in many ways: it analyses style, efficiency, `prettiness' and output.

• It is fussy about its output. TO GET FULL MARKS you will need to emulate the output almost exactly as the question requests. So read the questions CAREFULLY.
• Get plenty of practice using CEILIDH and submitting and marking exercise before your first assessments are due.
• If used properly CEILIDH should be very useful in helping you learn C.

• A C++ module is also available.(Not covered by this lecture course).
