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.
