Abstract
We introduce a C tutor that can help instructors manage classes with many students learning to program in C. Nowadays, it is easy to evaluate code but it is hard to provide good feedback. We introduce a tool to help instructors provide students with feedback concerning their implementation and documentation for honing their programming skills. This tool is implemented in Python and is available at https://github.com/rcm/C_teaching_assistant.
