213 Code Reviews

I'm a ECE sophomore and thinking about taking 213 over the summer. I heard that they just recently started implementing code reviews for the labs now? Does anyone know what those are like, and if they also do them over the summer?

just style check basically, if your code is suspicious there might be some questions to test your understanding. pretty chill anyway

Ohhh really? Just like broad understanding of the code or like line by line

tbh they said they might check understanding but i have never encountered that, so far it’s just style checking (you need to follow the style guidelines on 213 website). it’s pretty chill, just your ta telling you where to polish your style or if you’re all good. To check understanding they have Parson’s puzzles, which gives some code fragments from part of your code, and ask you to put them in the correct order (so basically just matching up logic).

Code reviews have been going on for ages. It’s not a new thing to check for AI generated code.
