This wiki page is for the description of E2071. Improve assessment360 controller.

Introduction

The Expertiza project is software to create reusable learning objects through peer review. It also supports team projects, and the submission of almost any document type, including URLs and wiki pages.

Problem Statement

As an instructor, you are able to view tables with information on student performance across the various courses they are taking and their assignments. Currently, these tables always show the same information and you are not able to specify if you only want to see certain data. Furthermore, the source code has some variables names that are not clear to what their purpose is in the code.


To fix the problem:

1.There should be a dialog that appears before navigating to the pages where the table views are that contain a list of checkboxes to allow the user to choose which columns they would like to see.

Course Grade Summary

Selectable columns:

  • Instructor Assigned Scores
  • Peer Grades
  • Topics

View Aggregated Teammates and Meta Reviews

Selectable columns:

  • Teammate Review Scores
  • Meta Review Scores
  • Number Of Teammates

How to manually test our function

1. Beside "Home", click "Manage...", then click "Assignments".

2. Choose an Assignment ( Final project (and design doc) is recommended).Then click "Edit" below Actions.

3. Click "Topic" tab.

4. Create some topics by click "New topic" on the bottom line.

5. Select them and click "Delete selected topics". Then click "Yes". (It may take a while!)

6. Then you shall see they are deleted. (For some reason we don't know, it failed when editing a staggered deadline assignment.)


Solution

1.Modify view

File: app/views/sign_up_sheet/_add_topics.html.erb

Add bottoms of 'Delete select topics' and 'Select All'

We have also written a custom function 'deleteTopics' inside of <script> tag. This will collect all the topic id that we select via the checkbox and will send it to the sign_up_sheet controller for further processing.

  <input type="button" value="Delete selected topics" onclick="deleteTopics()" />|
    <input id='select_all' type="checkbox" onClick="selectAll(this)" />Select All |



<script>
    function deleteTopics() {
        var msg = 'Are you sure? It will delete all selected topics';
        if (confirm(msg)) {
            var topic_identifiers = []
            $("#topics input[type=checkbox]:checked").each(function() {
                var topic_id = $(this).closest('tr').find('#topic_id').text();
                topic_identifiers.push(topic_id);

            });

            jQuery.ajax({
                url: '/sign_up_sheet/delete_all_selected_topics',
                method: 'POST',
                data: {
                    topic_ids: topic_identifiers,
                    assignment_id: <%= @assignment.id %>  
                },
                success: function() {
                    location.reload();
                }
            });
        } else {
            window.location.href = '<%= edit_assignment_path(@assignment.id) + "#tabs-2" %>';
        }
    }
</script>


File: app/views/sign_up_sheet/_table_header.html.erb

Add 'Select' and 'Topic ID' header

  
  <th width="5%">Topic ID</th>
  <th width="5%">Select</th>

File: app/views/sign_up_sheet/_add_signup_topics.html.erb

We have changed one line of code in this file to add the 'id' parameter in the table tag


  <table class="table table-striped" id="topics">


File: app/views/sign_up_sheet/_table_line.html.erb

Add selected checkbox


  <td id='topic_id'><%= topic.topic_identifier %></td>
  <td><input id='topic_check' type="checkbox" name="Selected-Box"></td>

2.'Select All' function

File: app/assets/javascripts/signup.js

selectAll function checks all checkbox of topics in the table.


  function selectAll(source) {
    checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('Selected-Box');
    for (var i = 0, n = checkboxes.length; i < n; i++) {
        checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
    }
}

3.'Delete' function

File: app/controllers/sign_up_sheet_controller.rb

It defines the following functions:

delete_all_selected_topics : This function deletes all the selected topics

load_all_selected_topics : This function loads all the rows ( tuples ) from sign up topics which have the mentioned topic ids.


  
def delete_all_selected_topics
    load_all_selected_topics
    @stopics.each(&:destroy)
    flash[:success] = "All selected topics have been deleted successfully."
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to edit_assignment_path(params[:assignment_id]) + "#tabs-2"}
      format.js {}
    end
  end  
  def load_all_selected_topics
    @stopics = SignUpTopic.where(assignment_id: params[:assignment_id], topic_identifier: params[:topic_ids])
  end


File: config/routes.rb

Add url.

  post :delete_all_selected_topics

Result

We can see that we have a check-box coloumn in the table. We also have a 'Select All' option at the end of the table.


We can select a few topics in the table by clicking on the appropriate check-box


We can select all topics in the table by clicking on the 'Select All' option


When we click on the 'Delete Selected Topics' button , we get a popup asking for conformation.

Test

File: spec/controllers/sign_up_sheet_controller_spec.rb

Select assignment with id '834' and topic with id ['E1732'] as params. Post params to delete_all_selected_topics. Expect success flash with 'All selected topics have been deleted successfully.' and redirect to '/assignments/834/edit#tabs-2'.

  describe '#delete_all_selected_topics' do
    it 'delete_all_selected_topics and redirects to edit assignment page' do
      allow(SignUpTopic).to receive(:find).with(assignment_id: '834',topic_identifier: ['E1732']).and_return(topic)
      params = {assignment_id: 834, idents: ['E1732']}
      post :delete_all_selected_topics, params
      expect(flash[:success]).to eq('All selected topics have been deleted successfully.')
      expect(response).to redirect_to('/assignments/834/edit#tabs-2')
    end
  end
