CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2020 - E2075. calibration submissions should be copied along with calibration assignments

This wiki page describes the changes made under E2075, to ensure calibration submissions are copied along with calibration assignments for CSC/ECE 517, Fall 2020.

Introduction

The Expertiza project allows "calibration assignments" to be performed where students are asked to review work that has also been reviewed by a member of the course staff. Calibration is the term used for rectifying, or checking or determining something. In the context of this project, a 'Calibrated review' is one which is performed by a student, so that (s)he can verify their work by comparing it with the instructor's response for the same assignment. If the student’s review “resembles” the staff-member’s review, then the student is presumed to be a competent reviewer. Since calibration reviews are meant as reference for better performance of peer reviews (which are performed later), they are not graded.

Problem Statement

Goal

Calibration submissions should be copied along with calibration assignments

Issue in current implementation

On creating a copy of a previous assignment, say for example "Design Exercise, Fall '19" for the Fall '20 semester - the calibration assignments associated with it are not copied over. The instructor is required to impersonate extra participants, and submit work on behalf of each of the extra participants. This is obviously extra trouble, and it would be a lot more convenient if an instructor didn’t have to resubmit the same calibration submissions over and over, every semester.

Proposed Design

The following must be added to the current implementation:

• Use the same extra participants as the assignment you are copying to creating the calibration used
• Add test cases to maintain coverage if SLOC increases
