E1648. Adding past due assignments to the task list

This page provides a description of the Expertiza based OSS project for Fall 2016.



About Expertiza

Expertiza is an open source project based on Ruby on Rails framework. Expertiza allows the instructor to create new assignments and customize new or existing assignments. It also allows the instructor to create a list of topics the students can sign up for. Students can form teams in Expertiza to work on various projects and assignments. Students can also peer review other students' submissions. Expertiza supports submission across various document types, including the URLs and wiki pages.

Problem Statement

The following tasks required completion in this project:

  • Adding past due assignments to the task list.
  • Highlighting the next immediate due date on the assignment list.
  • Correcting the stage deadline of finished assignments.

Current Implementation

Functionality
  • Assignments that are past due are not present in the task list
The assignments that the user is a participant of and are past the deadline but not yet completed are not part of the task list of the user. Currently only tasks that are not yet started by the user are being shown in the task list.
  • Highlight next immediate due date
As per the current implementation, it is hard to pick the when and which assignment has the next immediate due.
  • Stage deadline of a finished assignment
According to the existing implementation, the stage deadline of any finished assignment is being shown as one year from the current time which is misleading from the actual final stage deadline of that assignment.
  • The 'tasks not yet started' section does not show the assignments that are past the deadline but have not been completed by the student.
  • The stage deadline for the finished assignments is currently displayed as the time one year from now instead of the due date of the assignment.
Solutions
  • 'Late Tasks' section is added to the task list, which refers to the assignments that are finished but have not been completed by the student. A 'More' button needs to be added in case the number of tasks is greater than 10. The links corresponding to the assignment need to be fixed.
  • We have highlighted the assignment with next immediate due date from current time by making the entire row bold.
  • We have corrected the stage deadline of the finished assignments.
