This project does compile. Reviewers can refer Testing Plan: Testing from the UI and the YouTube link https://youtu.be/fCxhD-qFUro for navigation help.
The testing plan is at the end of this document. Design principles were not needed since we mostly modified existing work.
Introduction
Expertiza is a web portal which can be used to manage assignments related to a course. It provides a platform to view assignments, manage teams, select topics and work improvement through anonymous peer reviews.
1. Problem Statement
In order to gain practice, the Student should be able to give calibration reviews before providing peer reviews. Thus, the Instructor should be able to enable calibration for every new and existing assignment. By this way, the student can improve peer reviewing by comparing his/her results with expert reviews for the same assignment.
- Limitation - At present, the instructor is able to calibrate the students’ peer review abilities on Expertiza by creating only a separate assignment for this purpose. In this separate assignment that the instructor creates, the student and the instructor will simultaneously do peer review for the project. After submission of the reviews, the student's and instructor's reviews are compared and a calibration report is generated for the student to view and improve their peer reviewing skills.
Unfortunately, for students to practice peer reviewing, a separate assignment has to be created every time. In order to facilitate sufficient practice for peer review, this is not a convenient method.
Proposed System
The objective of this project is to enable calibration to be one part of the normal assignment. The instructor should be able to turn on this feature if necessary and provide the corresponding calibration deadline. The student should be pre-assigned sample assignments. Once the student submits the calibration reviews, the calibration results comparing the student and expert review are provided to the student. This feature should be available for normal assignments.
