E1839 Review Requirements and Thresholds

Description

This wiki page is the description of the E1839 OSS Writeup project - Review Requirements and Thresholds - for Fall 2018, CSC/ECE 517.

Introduction

Expertiza is an open source project based on Ruby on Rails framework. The Expertiza project is a software that creates reusable learning objects through peer review. It is a web application where students can submit and peer-review learning objects (articles, code, web sites, etc). It is used in some courses at NC State University and by professors at several other universities. It supports team projects, and the submission of almost any document type, including URLs and wiki pages. Expertiza enables the instructor to create new and customize existing assignments. It also enables the instructor to create a list of topics the students can sign up for as part of a project. Students can form teams in Expertiza to work on various projects and assignments. Expertiza supports submission across various document types, including the URLs and wiki pages.

Design Pattern

1. MVC

The project is implemented in Ruby on Rails that uses MVC architecture. It separates an application’s data model, user interface, and control logic into three distinct components (model, view and controller, respectively).

2. Dry Principle

We are trying to reuse the existing functionalities in Expertiza, thus avoiding code duplication. Whenever possible, code modification based on the existing classes, controllers, or tables will be done instead of creating the new one.
