Labrat in Wileyplus: A New Wileyplus Question Type For Big Java and Java

LabRat is an application within WileyPLUS that allows students to complete and submit Java programming assignments. It runs on the student's own machine, allowing them to download files, work offline, and upload completed work. The instructor then receives test results and code to review for grading. There are two types of LabRat problems: code completion exercises where students finish partial programs, and programming exercises where students write entire programs to specified requirements. The process involves students downloading work files, completing the code offline, and uploading to WileyPLUS to generate grades for instructor review.
