students to submit their solutions to programming assignments and, in
some cases, to get immediate feedback on (some aspects of) them. These
pages contain information for students about how to use Autolab (some of which is specific to the use of Autolab at JMU).

==== Help Interpreting Feedback from Autograders ====

There are two kinds of feedback in Autolab - instructor-generated code 
annotations and autograder-generated feedback on submission criteria/problems.

The instructor-generated annotations appear at the bottom of the grade report under the **Remarks** heading. This part of the report contains one line for each annotation that always includes a textual comment and the relevant file and line number. It may also include a criterion and deduction.

The autograder-generated feedback latter varies from autograder to autograder. Help is available on the feedback provided by the following autograders:
