Expertiza Wiki:OSS Project Group Public?

Expertiza Project Writeup Madhavbhai Hitendrabhai Bhatt, Randal William Myers, and Sai Krishna Panakanti Advisor: Ferry Pramudianto, fferry@ncsu.edu

Abstract: Our group addresses “E1720: UI issues/fixes” from the assignment sheet for the Spring 2017 semester and North Carolina State University.

What was wrong with Expertiza: Historically, we have created courses without specifying the institution. Now with the data warehouse storing institution for each course, this is undesirable. If an assignment is completed, no one can sign up for topics or drop topics. Yet a completely blank "Actions" column on the signup sheet still appears. It would be better if the column did not appear. Currently when admin/instructor tries to delete an assignment, there is no alert/confirmation shown. This is risky. We need to add a confirmation step to avoid losing data. It would be nice to include feature updates for the users of Expertiza when major features are added or changed.

What needed to be done at the beginning: Issue #702: Add another institution_id to course table and The Create Course page needs to be fixed to tell the creator to specify the institution (course/_course.html.erb). Issue #316:Remove "Actions" column on signup sheet in a completed assignment (sign_up_sheet/list.html.erb). Issue #295: Add a confirmation on deleting an assignment on the admin screen (tree_display/actions/_shared_actions.html.rb). Issue #256: Add a one-time notification at the top of the page which links to an article on the details of the change (it might make sense to put a javascript module in the site_controllers/index.html.rb and let other pages call this).

What was done to address each issue: Issue #702: We used scaffolding to create a model, view and controller for institutions. Issue #316: . Issue #295: . Issue #256: .
