E1553. There is no shortcut to get free review points: Review Assignment Bug

This page provides a description of the Expertiza based OSS project.

About Expertiza

Expertiza is an open source project based on Ruby on Rails framework. Expertiza allows the instructor to create new assignments and customize new or existing assignments. It also allows the instructor to create a list of topics the students can sign up for. Students can form teams in Expertiza to work on various projects and assignments. Students can also peer review other students' submissions. Expertiza supports submission across various document types, including the URLs and wiki pages.

Introduction

Background

Each assignment contains an assignment policy. We can generally submit n reviews according to assignment policy. For an assignment with topics, a student has an option to choose a submission to review or can say “I don’t care” and the system chooses any available topic for review.

Motivation

This project in particular intends that the students collaborate with each other and work on making enhancements to the code base by applying the concepts of Rails,RSpec, DRY code,Test driven development etc. This provides an opportunity for students to contribute to an open source project and learn further about software deployment etc.

Issues Presented

• The number of reviews done by any student is not checked in the backend with the maximum number of submissions allowed as per the assignment policy
• There is no check to see if the submission is already assigned to the student (on consulting the TA, it was made known that the feature was working correctly without editing any of the code and thus no refractoring was performed for this task)
• If the same request is re-sent, the system adds the same submission for review a second time.
