It is an open-source project based on Ruby on Rails framework. It allows the instructors not only to create and customize new or existing assignments but also to create a list of topics the students can sign up for. Students can form teams to work on various projects and assignments. Expertiza also lets students peer-review other students' submissions, enabling them to work together to improve others' learning experiences.

Background

A helper method in Ruby performs certain repetitive tasks across multiple classes or a singular class, so that code is not reused and redundancy is reduced. The review_mapping_helper.rb file is primarily used to perform routine tasks with reviews. Tasks such as returning the user's name instead of the team name when there is a single person in the team, checking whether the work has been submitted within the given round and sorting the reviewers by average number of reviews in each round. Each of these functions' visibility is dependent on the type of user.
