1.2. System Personnel

The personnel involved in the Grader project are organized into the following groups and subgroups:

  1. end users
    1. instructors
    2. graders/teaching assistants
    3. students
  2. customers
  3. system developers
  4. outside parties

End users are those who use the Grader for its intended purpose. Instructors manage the class roster, add assignments, and input scores for each of their classes. Graders and teaching assistants are allowed to perform a more limited set of tasks. They can add an assignment, insert grades, and attach materials to hand-back to the student but they cannot do any administrative functions such as adding a student or uploading grades to SIS. Students have access to their own grades but cannot modify them. They can also see other students' grades but without identifying information. Students can also submit work and view comments on graded assignments through this system.

The primary customer is Gene Fisher. He is the customer representative for his faculty and staff colleagues in the Computer Science department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. In this representative capacity, Fisher consults with other potential customers to gather requirements from them, and integrate their requirements with his own.

The primary system developer is the Grader Development Team. This team is comprised of Victor Chang, Cindy Cheng, Ben Hirsch, Jordan Gasch, Mike Soldner, and Marc Zych.

The Grader is available as public domain software for use by outside parties. The project directory is located at http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~vichang/projects/work/Grader.
