About Expertiza
Expertiza is an open source project based on Ruby on Rails framework. Expertiza allows the instructor to create new assignments and customize new or existing assignments. It also allows the instructor to create a list of topics the students can sign up for. Students can form teams in Expertiza to work on various projects and assignments. Students can also peer review other students' submissions. Expertiza supports submission across various document types, including the URLs and wiki pages.
Problem Statement
- The following problems need to be handled in this project:
Currently, when someone reviews a submission at the next review round(second or third review round), (s)he can't see when that submission was last updated. But a reviewer needs to know when a submission was last updated, because only submissions that are updated need to be re-reviewed.So, reviewers should be told the updated submissions and their latest submission time.
Files modified in Current Project
- dominant files were modified for the project:
- add a method in model response to get a timestamp from github.
- modifying corresponding part in the student_review/responses.html.erb to show the update information.
ResponseModel
This modle is responsible for students' review work of their peers.Specificly,the model is responsible for the review page which could show all the submissions of participants and reviewer could make their review for every submissions. What we do in this model is achiveing some functions and making coressponding changes to help the review page shows which submission was upgraded and the exactly time of the upgrade about the submission so that reviewer could know which submissions are updated since he/she submitted the review when the second review cycle starts.
Solutions Implemented and Delivered
- 1.USing OAuth token to access the github repositpry and get the latest commit time.
- 2.Getting the last review time in the previous round and comparing with the commit time got above.Then showing the upgrade information if the commit time is later than the last review time.
