Phyliss's Thoughts as of 2009-05-22

Manage student:

• maybe put 'cancel' button next to submit (at first glance i thought there was no button)

Edit assignment:

• 'add another file' - after clicking on it and inputting a filename, give the user some indication that that is all there is to be done and that they should click on the button again to get another text field. perhaps, after they input the filename, change the text area to look like the background so that they know it's valid or something. Give them an 'ok' button and then change the text area to be non-editable, but delete-able

Rubric Management:

• Manually edit rubric - default criteria names don't need #'s associated with them
• Are the numbers the number of marks that is worth or the percentage it's worth?
• when a criteria is selected, the marks are replaced with the 'delete' button and you lose the worth of that criteria. I think it's a better idea to keep the worth in place whether the criteria is selected or not and have the editing to the right of the criteria name as well. For consistency, the delete can be similar to the 'Add another file' format with the simple x on the left side of the criteria name.

Manage Groups:

• 'There are currently no assignments.' text is unclear. I thought that when creating assignments or editting, then even if it's an individual assignment, there would be groups of 1, but still considered a 'group'. Either change the text, or not allow the 'Manage Groups' nav button to appear unless there are group assignments where groups are >= 2 students, or change the setting in the 'assignment edit' page to be 'Individual' or 'Group' and THEN display all the group options.
• I was in 'manage groups for A1' and hit the submit button with nothing selected and was redirected to 'Manage groups fo A4'. I was under the impression that there was only one assignment with groups. So that was really confusing. Definitely a bug. I should be told that I have to actually select a file. From there I proceeded to add groups. It didn't allow me to rename the "groups" (the screen dimmed and no window appeared either, i had to click back to get back to something), it also didn't allow me to add students to the group, I could input the studentName, but 'Add Member' button didn't do anything. At the very least, the student should be allowed to be added, but any additional students would be rejected.

Managing Groups:

• added the same student multiple times to the same group and different groups
• what is 'pending' status? new students to groups always appear as accepted. how did that get pending?

Assign TAs to Assignments:

• doesn't seem to work - the toggle groups doesn't change anything, assign/unassign buttons don't seem to do anything. All I can do is select/deselect on TAs and groups.
