Introduction

The way Expertiza is set up right now is that only peers can review your work. However, there are cases when the instructor would want to submit reviews as well. This project aims to implement this feature by allowing instructors to review the project on the same metrics as other students who review the project.


Problem Statement

Peer review is a great way for students to learn about how well they have developed their application. However there are some problems with this:

  • Sometimes, the peer reviews may not be thorough and the team/person's work reviewed might not reflect the actual status of the development.
  • The reviewer might not know how well they are reviewing the peer's work. They might not entirely know as to what tone to use or what suggestions to put forward.


By letting course staff perform reviews as well, the reviewer and the reviewee are both benefited, which can improve the overall learning experience.

Current scenario

This is how some of the pages we are concerned with, currently look.


Submissions page for an assignment in Instructor View


A typical Scores table in a Student View


Others work reviewed in a Student View


Proposed Solutions

We propose to perform the following changes to let staff perform reviews as well:

  • Step 1: Add a "Perform review" link in the assignment submissions page view for the instructors. ===


Files to be edited:

  • View: app/views/assignments/list_submissions.html.erb
  • Controller: app/controllers/response_controller.rb - Add authorization for instructors to perform review
  • Step 2: Add instructor review in "Your Scores" table in case he has reviewed your work. Provide a highlight/way to make it look distinct. ===


Files to be edited:

  • View: app/views/grades/view_team.html.erb
  • Controller: app/controllers/grades_controller.rb - Method: view_team


  • Step 3: If instructor has reviewed the same work as you have reviewed, provide a way to show his review as well in "Others work" ===


Files to be edited:

  • View: app/views/student_review/list.html.erb
  • Controller: app/controllers/student_review_controller.rb - Method: view_team


Test Plan

Many of our changes would be reflected on views (user interface). Following is the list of tests that should be conducted with rspec/capybara:

  1. it "should see the Perform Review link (beside Assign Grade link) for each submission after a list of submissions are pulled up by an instructor if the final due date for the assignment has passed"
  2. it "should see the Perform Review link only for each submission after a list of submissions are pulled up by an instructor if the final due date for the assignment has not passed and review period has started and review deadline has not passed"
  3. it "should see neither Perform Review link nor Assign Grade link after a list of submissions are pulled up by an instructor if the final due date for the assignment has not passed and review period has not started"
  4. it "should pull up a review page for the submission of the team after the Perform Review link is clicked on by an instructor"
  5. it "should show highlighted reviews done by instructors when a student views feedback on his/her submission"
  6. it "should pull up a calibration report when a student wants to see the difference between his/her reviews on other's submission and the instructor's"
