What Is A Code Review?


Code Reviews are a great way to for students to get feedback on their programming assignments and gain insight on how to improve code quality as they continue on their programming journey! You can think of a code review similar to how someone can edit a rough draft of a paper.

As a CS Tutor, you will be reviewing and providing feedback on students’ code by adding comments just like how you can add comments to a Google Doc!
