CSC/ECE 517 Spring 2018 E1815: Improvements to review grader

Improvements to Review Grader

Introduction

Expertiza is a web application that is widely used by 2 types of users: students and instructors. When a user is logged-in as an instructor, and would like to see a review report on an assignment to review a grader, he/she could reach the page via Manage > Assignments and clicking on the “View review report” icon. The page would look somewhat like this:

To get a summary review report performed by a particular student, an instructor can get to the page from the review report by clicking “summary” in the row for that student. The page would look like this one:

Problem Statement

This project is focused primarily on making various improvements to the Review Report and Review Summary pages, described in detail in the previous section. Each of these pages, while functional, suffer from many UI issues which make the pages more difficult to use for instructors. That is, information which would be useful to instructors is missing in several cases. In others, large amounts of unnecessary information is present, cluttering the site. Additionally, both pages suffer from structural and design issues which, again, waste instructor time.

Finally, the Review Report page sometimes mis-categorizes students who have not updated their reviews of others, even though the project under review has not changed! This could cause students to be deducted points unfairly. By adding a new way of highlighting this special case to instructors, review grades can be assigned more fairly.

Review Report Page

Add metrics charts

In the metrics column, replace the numbers with bar charts. Specifically, horizontal bar charts that aren’t too wide, so they could potentially add more charts in the future. Color coded is ideal. Should be one bar with the average as a line or something (not clear on details here)

Update alternating background color if sorted

• Right now, the table on this page has alternating background colors to make it easier to read. Issue is, if you change the sorting, the background colors move with the items. So it may not be alternating any more. Needs to be fixed

Add new color to reviewers

if reviewed content has not changed

• On this page, the names of reviewers are sometimes color coded. Add a new color code (green) for reviewers who reviewed content during the first round but not the second, when nothing has changed since the first round

• (Optional): Sort by metric

Review Summary page

• Header - collapse (fix whitespace where possible)

• Add more information such as the reviewer’s name.

• Checkbox questions

• Replace all team members names with just team name

• Comments aren’t allowed, delete that column

• Columns per team, question on left

• Additional comments spanning

• CSS / Style improvements to review scores
