Research Abstract	I have developed a system capable of acquiring and later reproducing all the operations performed by a student that uses a personal computer (PC) to complete a programming exercise as a class assignment, with the completed program to be submitted to the instructor. Submission of a completed assignment is sometimes required, to assess the students' understanding of the class content. The assessment is generally made on the basis of the final form of the completed assignment, but in some assignments the process of assignment performance is also important. In contrast to the systems proposed in other studies for such assessment, the system described in the present study does not require a special editor to capture the process of source code editing performed by a student. Rather, it captures the process by analyzing the OS system messages generated in the student's operation of the PC.
