CSC/ECE 517 E2024 Mentor management for assignments without topics

Problem Statement

Currently Expertiza has no way to associate mentors with teams. For assignments with topics, like the OSS project, mentors are associated with topics, and then whichever team is assigned to the topic inherits the mentor for that topic However, for assignments without topics (like Program 2), there is no good way to “automatically” assign mentors to projects. The instructor needs to watch teams being formed, and every time a new team is formed, a new mentor needs to be assigned, outside of Expertiza. This leads to a lot of work for the instructor, as well as sometimes long delays before a team is assigned a mentor.
