Introduction

This project was completed as part of a greater open source project called Expertiza.

Expertiza is a web application platform, similar to wikipedia, which offers teachers and students a way to organize for group assignments and porjects. By using Expertiza, students have the ability to submit and coordinate peer-review learning objects (articles, code, web sites, etc). The Expertiza project is supported by the National Science Foundation.

Expertiza offers several features which are useful to a classroom-style learning environment. Among those several features, this project represents a contribution to the organization of the code used for assignment signup sheets.

Background

The work for this project was completed by a group of three students from NC State. However, the project was completed according to guidelines provided by a coordinator who works with Expertiza.

Following the guidelines provided, the group worked to clean up a portion of the Expertiza project code through refactorization and reorganization. More specifically, logical code needed to be separated from portions of the project which were not responsible for containing code for the functionality of the application.
