CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2019 - E1961. Email notification to reviewers and instructors

E1961 Email notification to reviewers and instructors

Brief Introduction

E1961 Project aims to fix the problems of making the email notification function more reliable.

The forked git repository for this project can be found [1]

Problem Statement

The following tasks were accomplished in this project:

• Issue1: Fix the problem that the author(reviewee) cannot recceive the email notification about the review from someone else. The Expertiza is supposed to email authors each time a review of their work is submitted.

• Issue2: Fix the bugs to make Expertiza emails reviewers each time an author that they have reviewed submits new work.

• Issue3: The instructor could get a Blind carbon copy every time.

• Issue4: The users can turn off those email notifications by unchecking boxes on their profile page.

Issue1

Call the email function to make the Experiza send the email to reviewee when reviewers submit the review

app/controllers/response_controller.rb:

  def send_email_to_reviewee(map)
    defn = {body: {type: "Peer Review", partial_name: "new_submission"} }
    map.email(defn, Assignment.find(Participant.find(map.reviewer_id).parent_id))
  end
