CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2023 - E2383. Grading Audit Trail

Introduction

Problem Statement

After an instructor gave a grade to an assignment, there is no way to track who gave the grade. A grading audit trail must be created and the following information needs to be stored:

1. When a grade is assigned by an instructor, there needs to be an indication of who did it and when it was done.

2. Comments previously provided by other instructors must also be preserved.

This information needs to be stored every time an instructor edits a grade/comment and clicks the save button.

Overview of Major Changes By Previous Teams

E1934

• A new table was added to the database (grading_history), along with the corresponding model (grading_history.rb) and controller (grading_history_controller.rb).
  • Whenever an instructor submits a new grade, or edits an existing grade, the grading_history_controller saves a new history entry to the database.

• Two models for specific types of histories were added: review_grading_history.rb, and submission_grading_history.rb.

• A view for displaying the grading history of a particular assignment or review was added (grading_histories/index.html.erb).

Problems/Issues

• For review grades, the “Grading History” link must not be in a separate column. It should be in smaller text below the in the “Save” button.
• In the view grading record page, remove the receiver column and add it to the title
• Restrict the column width on the grading record page
• Add comments on list_submissions.html.erb to indicate that the alignment was changed to fix code climate issues
• Ensure that white space changes are separate commits
• Revert changes made to list_review_mapping.html.erb 7. Remove the review_report-html.erb file *Design doc – mention why each of those files were changed

E2237

• They fixed some issues that were causing the system to crash during testing
• Altered the Grading History view
• Explained the reasoning for changes made to files using diagrams and justifications
