Participation

This app was built in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap.

Participation allows teachers to track student participation with a fair, points-based system.

Features:

• Teachers can create multiple classes with rosters of students that are listed alphabetically by last name.


• Teachers initialize each class with a maximum number of participation points to earn and a default number that each student starts with. All students are initialized with the default point value.


• Teachers can add or subtract points from students using the plus or minus buttons, which send an AJAX call to the database.


• Points for each student are automatically converted into percentages.


• Students' point values can be cleared and set back to the default. This action can be done on all students in a class at one time.


• Teachers can add comments about individual students that are dated for future reference.


• Teachers can have comments automatically mailed to students.


• Devise manages users, security, and logins.


• The data is queried and stored with PostgreSQL.
