Added Exam mode

Open iZUMi-kyouka opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

Description

  • Added exam mode functionality in the backend by adding enable_exam_mode and is_official_course in the courses table.
  • Added get_exam_mode_course() function in lib/cadet/accounts/course_registrations.ex
  • Modified lib/cadet_web/controllers/user_controller.ex logic in serving the last_viewed_course to always serve the official institution course under exam_mode if any of the user's official course is currently under exam mode. Performed the same modification for get_latest_viewed() function in the same file.
  • Added the required migrations file to alter the database
  • Added the 2 additional fields in the model and wherever necessary

One more thing which just came to mind. Correct me if I am wrong, your current implementation places all users with a course which has exam mode enabled have their SA placed on some sort of "lock down". Wouldn't this limit the use for admins/staff during the time in which the course is on lock down?

@GabrielCWT Yes this is correct as of now. I will work on excluding them, so that staffs and admins work as usual, thanks!
