Expertiza Background
Expertiza is an educational web application created and maintained by the joint efforts of the students and the faculty at NCSU. It’s an open source project developed on Ruby on Rails platform and it’s code is available on Github. Using Expertiza students can bid for a particular project topic and the faculty assigns the same to different groups. Students can track their grades for previous projects and make new submissions for current projects. It also allows students to review each other’s work and improve their work upon this feedback.
Description of the current project
We worked on a module named on_the_fly_calc in this Expertiza based OSS project. We focussed on refactoring some methods which were very complex and also modified the language of the module to make it more ruby-istic. We also worked on refactoring the code to reduce redundancy. Our goal in this project was to make this model easier to read and maintain.
