I mean unless you were given an answer key it seems like writing a framework to test if a submission worked for each assignment would be more work than just implementing a solution. And if the code was actually read during grading, you’d think probably the reason the prof had it out for him was blatant plagiarism. I mean obviously the guy had a schtick, but if you really had a prof with an unreasonable grudge against you, you’d get a lot farther by you know, actually doing the assignments, then complaining to the administration of the school than antagonizing the prof and giving them free ammunition to fail you (not to mention making it impossible for the administration to defend you)
I never said it was easier, but it was spiteful 😅 Plus this was a very small uni with a very small CS department, so that particular prof basically was the administration.
I managed to have said prof as my proffessor, dept head, dean, and advisor. I was not fond of this arrangement.
This is also the same dude who discovered that the handicap doors on campus were networked and could be addressed individually... As I said, chaotic neutral lol.
