E2215. Refactoring student_quizzes_controller.rb in Expertiza

This page is a description of Expertiza OSS project E2215, which is refactoring the student_quizzes_controller.rb file.

Controller Description

The student_quizzes_controller consists of methods involved in creating, scoring & recording responses of the quizzes taken by reviewers or students of the other teams with the same assignment. This controller has some issues that violate essential Rails design principles such as DRY principle. There are few methods in this controller that should have been in model classes. Some methods share code, which creates code repetition. Some method comments needs to be rewritten.
