Most CodeHS coding exercises come with their own pre-written autograder to help guide students and teachers through the curriculum. Teachers have the ability to customize these CodeHS autograders by editing, adding, and omitting test cases to align with customized checks. Edit what feedback students can see by changing the autograder configurations.

Editing CodeHS Autograders
Navigating to the Autograder Editor
Navigate to the Assignments app under the Assignments category in the lefthand navigation menu.
Click on the three dots next to the CodeHS coding exercise.

Configuring CodeHS Autograders
Configure CodeHS autograders by setting the Feedback Level, Visibility, and Grading Settings.
Feedback Level determines the assignment's behavior when a student submits it:
Error (default): Blocks student submission.
Warning: Not blocking student submission, but something the student should fix.
Info: Not blocking submission and something that is a best practice but not an error (ex, code style).
Visibility controls how students can view test cases in an assignment:
Visible (default): If the autograder is visible, the student will see the details of the autograder tests.
Hidden: If the autograder is hidden, the student will only see whether they passed or failed the autograder tests.
Auto Graded will give full credit to all submissions that satisfy the CodeHS autograder. This will update the grade for any past submissions as well.
Teacher Graded will send every student submission to the Code Review page to be manually reviewed and scored.
Configuring Autograders in the Code Review App
You can configure and edit all exercises with autograders for an entire course by navigating to the Autograders tool in the Code Review app.
