Purpose

• There are occasions when it's advantageous to review projects as a team .
• It helps foster discussion and thereby improves the process of learning.

Task Description

This project comprises of the following steps :

1. Add fields to the ResponseMap model to record who reviews whom. The field reviewee_id refers to the team who is being reviewed. The field reviewer_id refers to the individual/team performing the review.
2. Add a boolean field reviewer_is_team to identify if the review is performed by a team or an individual.
3. If reviewer_is_team is true, the reviewer_id will be a reference to the Teams table. Else, it will be a reference to the Participants table.
4. For an Instructor to specify whether the review is a Team/Individual based review, provide a checkbox on the Review Strategy tab of assignment creation.
