CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2017/E1793. Help students find teams to join

Introduction

Problem Statement

For team-based assignments, it always takes time to find suitable team members. We already have bidding, which could help you to join in a team with other team members hold similar bidding preferences. However, you may not be satisfied with automated team formation and want to switch to another team. In this project, we will build a new feature to help students find teams to join.

Currently, there are 2 ways to find other students to join your team:

1.If your team is not full, you could invite people by inputting his/her UnityID. It will send an invitation to certain user. If s/he accept your invitation,s/he will leave original team and join your team. 2.You could create an advisement by clicking “Your team” link and then clicking “Create” link under “Advertisement for teammates” section. Then your advertisement will appear the last column of the signup sheet page with a horn icon. In this way, all classmates could see your advisement. Someone could send a request to join your team. If you accept their request, s/he will leave original team and join in your team.
