CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2018/E1876 Completion/Progress view

Problem Statement

In Expertiza, peer reviews are used as a metric to evaluate someone’s project. Once someone has peer reviewed a project, the authors of the project can also provide a feedback for this review in terms of ‘Author feedback’. While grading peer reviews, it would be nice for the instructors to take into account the author feedbacks given on a particular peer review, this will be helpful in evaluating how helpful the peer review actually was to the author of the project.

Goal

The aim of this project is to build this into the system. We need an additional column in the 'Review Report' page for reviews which shows the calculation of the author feedback. This will help instructor's to know how the reviews proved useful to the authors/team. The aim of this project is to integrate the author feedback column in the summary page

Design

Database

The following are the table structures we will need for mapping. First, the questions table has all the questions based on the questionnaire. We will be only concerned with the questions in the feedback questionnaire. The answers for each question in the feedback questionnaire is saved in Answers table below based on Question ID. Now, in order to know if the answers is a feedback by team members or a review by reviewer, the mapping for Answers table is done by response_id which is a foreign key to response table. Response table gives us map_id which maps to Response Maps table. Now, Response Map table gives us information of the reviewer_id, reviewee_id, reviewed_object_id (which is the id for the assignment being reviewed) and the type (whether it's a teammate review, author feedback or a regular review). We will have to fetch the answers from the Answer table based on response_id because in our case, the response is from a reviewee and not a reviewer. So, we will fetch those answers whose response type is FeedbackResponseMap and calculate scores for those questions from Review_Scores table.

reviewed_object_id	int(11)	The object being reviewed in the response. Possible objects include other ResponseMaps or assignments
reviewer_id	int(11)	The participant (actually AssignmentParticipant) providing the response
reviewee_id	int(11)	The team (AssignmentTeam) receiving the response
type	varchar(255)	Used for subclassing the response map. Available subclasses are ReviewResponseMap, MetareviewResponseMap, FeedbackResponseMap, TeammateReviewResponseMap
created_at	DATETIME	Date and Time for when the record was created
updated_at	DATETIME	Date and Time when the last update was made
calibrate_to	BIT

UI Implementation

In the page Review report for Design exercise ( login as an instructor -> Manage -> Assignments -> View review report ), we are planning to add one more column to show the average ratings for the authors feedback on a particular assignment. The logic for calculating the average score for the feedback would be similar to already implemented logic for score awarded/ average score column. Below attached shows the page we are planning to edit.

Code Logic

Following shows the code logic we are planning to write for calculating the avg scores for feedback given by authors.

Test Plan

• Plan to test the response report page (/review_mapping/response_report?id={:assignmentID}) to make sure the new field (avg author feedback) exists
  • Using rspec we will add a test case to ReviewMappingControllerSpec.rb

    context 'when type is FeedbackResponseMap' do
      context 'when assignment has varying_rubrics_by_round feature' do
        it 'renders response_report page with corresponding data' do
          allow(assignment).to receive(:varying_rubrics_by_round?).and_return(true)
          allow(FeedbackResponseMap).to receive(:feedback_response_report).with('1', 'FeedbackResponseMap')
                                                                          .and_return([participant, participant1], [1, 2], [3, 4], [])
          params = {
            id: 1,
            report: {type: 'FeedbackResponseMap'},
          }
          get :response_report, params
          expect(response).to render_template(:response_report)
          expect(response).to have(:avg_author_feedback)
        end
      end
   end

• Also, plan to test the response report page to make sure the new field is alighning well in the UI in the expected place
