E722 - A module to take reports from students on results of interactions with helpers from other groups.
Description
Interaction feature allows students to enter information about their interaction with other students when they worked on projects. So this information helps the instructors of the course and TAs of that course to assign extra credit based n how well they interacted with each other and how well did one help its colleagues with their questions in the project.
The views and corresponding code help
When you login as an instructor, you can view the questionnaires. The questionnaire listing will have a questionnaire named Interaction Review.
Creating an interaction review
You can then add a public or private Interaction Review. While creating interaction review you must add questions that you wish to be added in the questionnaire and mention their scores and their weight.
Editing an interaction review
After creating the interaction review, you can see it by clicking on Questionnaires --> Interaction Review
You can then edit advice for each of the questions that you added in the Interaction Review Questionnaire.
Editing an assignment to assign weight and score cap for Interaction Review
After creating the interaction review and its questions and advice, it is now necessary to set a score cap and extra credit percentage for the interaction review for that assignment.
Since, interaction review comes under extra credit we have to set the extra credit percentage for the interaction review for that assignment. Score cap is the maximum sum of review points that one should get in order to get the full extra credit.
Set a score cap and extra credit percentage for the interaction review for that assignment:
Reporting an interaction
As a student, one will then report an interaction that he or she had with his/her colleague. For that the student will navigate to a certain assignment.
You will then be presented with the following screen where you have to select that did you help someone or were you helped by someone?
Then you can submit your review response.
Once the interaction review is done, its status has to be confirmed.
Confirming the status
Once you have entered an interaction for helping someone, the helpee should then confirm whether the interaction is valid and then give a score to the helper.
Approving the interaction review
Once the interaction review has been done by the helper and the helpee, the instructor can then view this interaction and approve it.
Scores
Once the instructor has approved an interaction, the student can see the scores for that interaction in his/her score report for that assignment.

Repository for reference
You can use the repository (https://github.com/aswin89thee/expertiza.git) as a reference. Use the E722 branch under this repository. (https://github.com/aswin89thee/expertiza/tree/E722) but be careful that
- 161 files are changed in the commit made to introduce the feature of interaction review
- merging the changes is a huge challenge and time-consuming work
- the code written has many flaws and needs a lot of refactoring
- the views are broken
- code in this repository is not fully functional
- lots of views have been changed in the latest expertiza which are not present in this repository
- none of the db changes mentioned above are there in the repository
- none of the migrations mentioned above are present in the repository
- none of the the database tables I have mentioned above is populated with the pre-required configuration values for Interaction Review in the test database.
