Every single election, the League of Women Voters puts out responses to their surveys about candidates' relevant viewpoints and platform. Every single election I have to remind people it even exists. It's the easiest way to filter out candidates. Do their viewpoints align with mine? Did they even bother to respond to the survey?
Takes like 5-10 minutes easily. There's simply no excuse.
My undergrad program had us write Java code by hand for some beginning assignments and exams. The TAs would then type whatever we wrote into Eclipse and see if it ran. They usually graded pretty leniently, though.
