  In Joelonsoftware, Joel reports (using data from Professor Stanley Eisenstat at Yale) that he sees about a 3x or 4x difference in the time students put into an assignment (with no effect of grades).However - and this is a big "however" - Prof. Eisenstat depends upon self-reporting from the students.
  ...
  Using Curtis' data, I get that the median coder takes 2x or 3x the time that the top coder does for each of Curtis' two tasks. (It's not exact because the data was bucketed into five-minute intervals.) Interestingly, this is the same order of magnitude that Prof. Eisenstat found.

  The three speakers were Stanley Eisenstat, professor of computer science, Yale University; Jack Dongarra, distinguished professor, Department of Computer Science, University of Tennessee and distinguished scientist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; and Charles Van Loan, professor of engineering and chair of the Department of Computer Science, Cornell University.
  ...
  Eisenstat gave a brief history of methods for solving the L-shaped membrane eigenvalue problem, beginning with Cleve's thesis from 1965, "Finite Difference Methods for the Eigenvalues of Laplace's Operator."Dongarra named his talk "26 Years, 3 Months, and 30 Days or How I Learned to Quit Worrying and Love Numerical Software" (that's how long he has known Cleve).

  The data I rely upon comes from Professor Stanley Eisenstat at Yale.Each year he teaches a programming-intensive course, CS 323, where a large proportion of the work consists of about five programming assignments, each of which takes about two weeks.The assignments are very serious for a college class: implement a Unix command-line shell, implement a ZLW file compressor, etc.
  
  There was so much griping among the students about how much work was required for this class that Professor Eisenstat started asking the students to report back on how much time they spent on each assignment.He has collected this data carefully for several years.
  ...
  I should mention that grades in Professor Eisenstat's class are completely objective: they're calculated formulaically based on how many automated tests the code passes and nothing else.No points are deducted for bad style or lateness.
  ...
  I asked Professor Eisenstat about this, and he pointed out one more thing: because assignments are due at a fixed time (usually midnight) and the penalties for being late are significant, a lot of students stop before the project is done.
