• General
• Topics
• Rubrics
• Review Strategy
• Due Dates

Rubrics

Rubrics are arranged into 3 rows of data named "Review", "Author Feedback", and "Teammate Review". Each row is handled under separate descriptions in order to allow quick and comprehensive testing for the seperate functions. Each row updates a subclass of the Questionnaire class. The Active Record hierarchy is:

• Questionnaire
  • ReviewQuestionnaire
  • AuthorFeedbackQuestionnaire
  • TeammateReviewQuestionaire

The Questionnaire class is connected to the Assignment class via the AssignmentQuestionnaire class.
