Information Display and Student Interaction
Introduction
Background
Scope
Purpose
Approach
As the project was originally assigned to students two years ago, the functionality is mostly complete. The main concern is that, as the project was completed 2 years ago (in December 2012), it was made for an older version of rails.
General Approach
Our general approach to the project would be as follows:
- Run the current project with rails 4
- Check the functionality to find out the incompatible parts
- Refactor the parts of code that do not function as expected and port them to rails 4 specification
- After making sure everything runs, refactor the entire code to make sure it follows the global code rules.
Specific Approach
The specific approach to each of the two functionality is as follows:
Better display for assignments
Dashboard for students
Testing
Files involved
Dashboard for students
- Model ScoreCache.rb
- View grades\view_my_scored.html.erb
- Controller grades_controller.rb, review_mapping_controller.rb,response_controller.rb
- Database tables Assignments,Participants, score_caches, response_maps,responses
