  abstract =     "Helping students to understand the quality of their
                 programs is a difficult task hampered by the time
                 instructors have for grading. When the number of
                 programs to grade are in the hundreds, instructors may
                 be able to handle dynamic analysis of the programs and
                 possibly a cursory glance at the code itself. Automated
                 solutions may appear attractive, but few exist in the
                 literature. Further, not enough examples exist to help
                 instructors choose what metrics would be useful for
                 helping students to visualize how they program. In this
                 study, a collection of static metrics data obtained
                 with Verilog Logiscope is correlated to an estimate of
                 program quality to determine which metrics would show
                 students at least the instructor's idea of quality. The
                 study results are encouraging and show that definite
                 correlations exist so that static analysis is a viable
                 methodology for assessing student work. Further work is
                 considered to help to confirm the study's results and
                 their practical application.",
