The purpose of this project is to give students some metrics on the content of the review when the automated meta reviews are disabled. This also includes the addition of new relevant metrics which can help the reviewers and instructors to gain insight into the reviews.

Scope

The scope of the project is limited creating a system where the reviewer and the instructors can view metrics for each of the submitted reviews.The user or the instructor need to manually visit to the link to view the metrics.The scope doesn't include any automated viewing of reports for the metrics.
