Response map overview

The response_map is a crucial component in the Expertiza system, it ensures the relationship between reviewers and reviewees in an assignment. In Expertiza, when a user submits a review, it creates an instance of the Response class. Each Response is associated with a specific ResponseMap that identifies the reviewer (reviewer_id), the person being reviewed (reviewee_id), the item under evaluation (reviewed_object_id), and the type of review, such as ReviewResponseMap, MetareviewResponseMap, FeedbackResponseMap, and TeammateReviewResponseMap, among others.

Attributes

1. reviewed_object_id: This integer field identifies the object (assignment, project, etc.) being reviewed. It serves as a foreign key to link to the specific item under review. 
2. reviewer_id: This integer field denotes the user who is acting as the reviewer. It connects to the users table, allowing the system to track who provided the feedback or evaluation. 
3. reviewee_id: This integer identifies the user or entity being reviewed, establishing a relationship with the person or group receiving the feedback. 
4. created_at & updated_at: These timestamp fields automatically track when the response map was created and last updated, ensuring that the system maintains accurate records of modifications.
