The compliance with coding standards is becoming an evaluating index for a software engineer's teamwork capability or international cooperation capability. The best place to solve this problem should be in an educational environment such as college where students begin to write their introductory programs. After constructing a web-based evaluating system, a case was studied in our school of software and some important conclusions were made such as (1) the evaluating results were not so satisfactory because of the absence of necessary training and (2) students' ability to comply with coding standards did not improve automatically with the assignments one by one without timely feedback. In short, there is a long way to run before the students can write quality code meeting the requirement of software industry.
