Feedback Rubric Question: Suggestion for Statistics Per Recipient

[rrtheonlyone]

Right now in latest production branch we have the per recipient statistics feature. This looks like this:

The Per Recipient Statistics (Overall) feature is taking the sum of the average of sub questions divided by the number of sub questions. This opens up some ambiguity as to what value to use when there is no responses for the sub questions. The current implementation takes it as zero and uses that in the average calculations. An alternative is to ignore sub questions with no responses completely. However, it just feels a little clunky to do it this way.

I want to propose a slightly different format instead. Like this (for the same example above), in csv notation:

The new format uses a similar notation as Response Summary and Per Recipient Statistics (Per Criterion). We take the weighted sum and divide by the number of responses. This will give an indication to where a certain recipient lies in the range of weights that currently exist. There also won't be any ambiguity of zero weight vs no responses. We can also remove the assumption that all questions are equally weighted.

For your kind review @damithc.

Thanks for bringing this up @rrtheonlyone I'm fine with the proposed approach.

Hi, just checking whether this issue has been fixed already?

@u6867511 I don't think so. You are good to submit a PR for this.

Hello, I was wondering, is it necessary to include the recipient's email in the Per Recipient Statistics (Overall) table? The Per Recipient Statistics (Per Criterion) section does not include the email.

@u6867511 Good to include it, as the email is the only reliable identifier we have (multiple students can have the same name).
