CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2022 - E2284. Calibration submissions should be copied along with calibration assignments
Introduction
A “calibration assignment” is an assignment where the students are asked to review work that has also been reviewed by a member of the course staff. If the student’s review “resembles” the staff member’s review, then the student is presumed to be a competent reviewer. Here is a further description of calibration assignments. The instructor (or TA) adds a few extra participants to the assignment to set up calibration. The instructor (or TA) then impersonates the extra participants and submits work on behalf of each of the extra participants.
Problem Statement
Having the instructor (or TA) impersonate the extra participants, and submit work on behalf of each of the extra participants is extra trouble. It would be nice if an instructor didn’t have to resubmit the same calibration submissions every semester. Copying the extra participants along with their teams, submissions, and responses when copying an assignment makes things much easier.
Previous Implementation
- Issue 1: To set up calibration, the instructor (or TA) adds a few extra participants to the assignment. The instructor (or TA) then impersonates the extra participants, and submits work on behalf of each of the extra participants. -
This is extra trouble. An instructor needn't have to resubmit the same calibration submissions every semester.
- Issue 2: Not all uses of class methods are good.
self.copy_participants_for_assignment: copies old participants to new --> assignment_participant.rb, it is in teams_users.rb, which seems misplaced.
- Issue 3: Returns a mapping from the old response map to the new response map.
self.copy_review_response_map, returns a mapping from the old response map to the new response map. It is in review_response_map.rb. This can be an instance method. There is a copy_review_responses in this class too.
- Issue 4: Code missing without causing a bug
Line 65 of submit_hyperlink has missing code.
- Issue 5: Old code not reused.
New code was written to copy a team in teams_user.rb. There already exists code to copy a team.
- Issue 6: No Automated tests written

Testing Goals
The main goal of our testing is to ensure that when a new calibration assignment is added, all of the qualifying previous calibration submissions and reviews are successfully copied over without overwriting any existing submissions.
