With the introduction of Cody Coursework, I'm often asked how to best use the power of MATLAB to effectively challenge students' code.

This answer is very outdated. Unfortunately, it shows up really high on Google search results. None of these are necessary with recent updates to Cody, in my experience.

Can you explain the line
k = regexp...?
does not the line
k = regexp...
cause any code the student has written that has formatted output fail the test?
Many of my templates will include these statements unless I edit them heavily.

Searching for "web" will cause false hits, e.g. when it occurs in a comment. It will be very frustrating for a student, when his solution fails, because his name contains this character sequence.
After several discussions in this forum it is clear, that the contents of P-coded functions is not hidden securely, because the debugger reveals almost all details. I would encourage any teacher to read the code of the students personally, while the automatic assessment can and will be cheated.
[EDITED] You can let Cody's virtual machine load and run code from external links? Isn't this a massive security problem?
