Quiz Feature: Phenomena, Concepts & Documentation

Hey team! This is all about diving deep into our quiz feature and understanding it through the lens of phenomena and concepts. We're gonna add a new section, 2.1.7, to our documentation to break down how everything works. This is super important because it helps us understand the 'what' and the 'why' behind our quiz. We will break down the observable instances (phenomena) and abstractions (concepts) and how they describe the quiz's entities, functions, and behaviors. So, buckle up!

🎯 Objective: Deconstructing the Quiz

Our main goal here is to expand section 2.1, "Domain Description", of Team 4's documentation. We're adding a brand new subsection, 2.1.7, called "Phenomena and Concepts for Quiz Feature." This subsection is all about mapping how observable instances (phenomena) and abstractions (concepts) describe the quiz’s entities, functions, and behaviors. This relies heavily on the lecture material we covered on Phenomena and Concepts (phenomena-concepts.pdf). This will help us understand the nuts and bolts of the quiz feature.

Why This Matters

Understanding phenomena and concepts helps us in a few key ways:

• Clarity: It makes our documentation super clear and easy to understand.
• Consistency: It ensures we're all on the same page when we talk about the quiz.
• Future-proofing: It helps us design the quiz in a way that is robust and adaptable to future changes.

Basically, by understanding the 'what' (phenomena) and the 'why' (concepts), we build a strong foundation for the quiz.

📝 Description: Phenomena vs. Concepts – Decoding the Quiz

Okay, guys, let's break this down. According to the lecture material (phenomena-concepts.pdf), a phenomenon is something observable and concrete. Think of it as something we can see or measure. A concept, on the other hand, is an abstraction or a class. It represents a set of related phenomena. Our mission here is to identify and categorize the phenomena and concepts in the quiz algorithm. We'll be creating a new section 2.1.7 titled "Phenomena and Concepts for Quiz Feature." This section will identify and categorize the entities, functions, and events/behaviors that make up the quiz. We'll describe how concrete, measurable elements (phenomena) relate to abstract structures (concepts). Think of phenomena as the 'how' and concepts as the 'what'.

What We'll Be Analyzing

Here’s a sneak peek at what we'll be looking at:

• Entities: These are concepts that hold data. Examples include things like a Word, IPA, Syllables, OptionSet, and QuizState. We'll classify these to understand the pieces of data that the quiz interacts with.
• Functions: These are the actions or operations that work on those entities. Think of things like Get_Word_IPA(word) or Generate_Evil_Words(word). We are focusing on what our quiz can do.
• Events and Behaviors: These are the observable actions that happen during a quiz. Think of stuff like WordRequested, OptionsGenerated, and OptionSelected. We will be focusing on the action parts.

In a nutshell, we are trying to understand the inner workings of our quiz feature and how it works step-by-step.

✅ Acceptance Criteria: Making Sure We're On Track

To make sure we're on the right track, we have some criteria to meet:

• New Section: The new section 2.1.7, “Phenomena and Concepts for Quiz Feature”, is successfully added to Team 4's documentation.
• Lecture Alignment: All the information aligns perfectly with the lecture material (phenomena-concepts.pdf). The lecture is a core foundation of our work.
• Clear Definitions: We clearly define and differentiate between phenomena and concepts within the quiz feature. This includes a clear distinction.
• Categorization: We correctly categorize relevant entities, functions, and events/behaviors as discussed in the lecture.
• Alignment: We demonstrate how the identified phenomena and concepts align with the quiz’s behaviors and requirements. How everything ties together is key.

🧪 Testing Plan: Putting it to the Test

So, how do we make sure we’ve done a good job?

• Classification Check: We need to ensure that all classifications correctly follow the lecture framework. We want to be sure it follows our lesson.
• Component Verification: We must verify that each entity, function, and event corresponds to an existing component of the quiz. Making sure everything is accounted for.
• Mapping Clarity: We will confirm that all phenomenon to concept mappings are crystal clear. Everything has to make sense!
• Documentation Flow: We'll ensure the section logically complements the rest of the documentation. It has to flow in a way that is easy to understand.

⏱️ Timeframe: Getting it Done

• Estimated Completion Time: 3 days. We believe that with the plan we have made, we can finish this in the time we have set.

⚡ Urgency: Prioritizing the Task

• Urgency: Medium. This is not a low priority, but it does not need to be done ASAP. We should treat it as an important one.

🎚️ Difficulty: How Challenging Is It?

• Difficulty: Moderate. This is not going to be an easy thing. However, it is something we can do.
