Modeling Exercise

Overview​

Modeling exercises allow you to create and submit UML diagrams or other types of models using Artemis's integrated Apollon editor. You can work on various diagram types including class diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, and more.

ℹ️

Note: Artemis uses an npm package called Apollon as its modeling editor. It has a standalone version which can be accessed via https://apollon.ase.in.tum.de/. The standalone version is free to use without the necessity of creating an account and offers additional features, including sharing and exporting diagrams. For more information, visit Apollon Standalone.

Student Submission​

When the exercise is released you can work on the exercise.

The modeling editor automatically saves your work as you make changes. You can continue working on your diagram until the due date.

Automatic Student Feedback​

ℹ️

Why Automatic Student Feedback: In large courses, providing timely and personalized feedback on modeling exercises is challenging. Automated student feedback helps you identify misconceptions early, iterate on your work, and refine diagram modeling skills—all without waiting for an instructor or tutor to be available.

Overview:

When a modeling exercise is configured to allow automatic AI preliminary feedback requests, you can request preliminary AI feedback for your modeling submissions. The feedback is generated through the Athena Service, which analyzes both the structure and layout of your diagrams.

How to Request Automatic Feedback:

  1. Requesting Feedback

    • Navigate to a Modeling Exercise with the Automatic Student Feedback feature enabled
    • Create a diagram in the modeling editor and submit it
    • Feedback may be requested either from the exercise overview page or directly within the modeling editor

  2. Viewing Feedback

    • After a feedback request is made, the system processes the diagram and generates preliminary feedback
    • An alert appears at the top of the page to indicate that the feedback is ready

    • To review previous feedback, access the submission history section and click on an entry to display its detailed feedback
