CSC/E1869 GRADING AUDIT TRAIL
Introduction
Problem Statement
After an instructor gave a grade to an assignment, there is no way to track who gave the grade. A grading audit trail must be created and the following information needs to be stored:
- 1. When a grade is assigned by an instructor, there needs to be an indication of who did it and when it was done.
- 2. Comments previously provided by other instructors must also be preserved.
This information needs to be stored every time an instructor edits a grade / comment and clicks the save button.
Currently, there are two places need to add grading audit trail:
- 1. Review grade: Log in as instructor -> Manage -> Assignments -> View Review Report
- 2. Submission grade: Log in as instructor -> Manage -> Assignments -> View submissions
Proposed Solution
Design
We will use MVC design to create a model, a controller, and a view for both of Review Grade and Submission Grade.
- Model: has a database contains instructor id, assignment id, grade type, student id, grade, comment, and timestamp.
- Controller: saves a new entry into database every time a review grade or submission grade is saved
- View: displays current submission or review's grading history. An existing example of this is submission record in the system.
