Covers practical, repeatable tactics for giving fast, fair feedback on beginners’ C++: a short taxonomy of real mistakes (magic constants, bad comments, wrong lifetimes, untested functions), a workflow using mnemonics and count-and-weight scoring to turn marks into grades, examples of incremental reviews plus multiple tests and keeping the best results, and lightweight team practices (pair reviewers, anonymized museum of bad examples, mentor buddies). Emphasis is on exact fixes, measurable heuristics and time-saving routines rather than high-level rhetoric.
