The SAT - should it be required

I saw a few days ago that Yale was reinstating the SAT. They're joining Dartmouth and Brown of the Ivies as well as MIT. I have no idea what percent of applicants, let alone percent those receiving offers, took the exam anyway for other school applications. Some of my friends thought this was great - a return to standards!!!! Others felt it was a regressive move and it will hurt diversity and equity.

Unit Tests Grading Workflow

I've talked before about unit testing (here, and here). My premise is that in addition to being an important industry technique, it's a sound practice for students studying CS. I also contend that it can make grading easier on the teacher. Maybe not as easy as an auto-grader but those have their own problems. Since I spent most of today grading I thought I'd share my current workflow and how unit tests have made me more efficient.
