Previously, the
createtestdata
script creates models in a fixed deterministic order, and almost always the mentor and section ids match up. This can cause some confusions during development, since it's hard to tell which ids correspond to mentors and which correspond to sections. This PR randomly shuffles all of the models prior to creation, to randomize the ids.Further, all of the sections have very few mentors, and all courses have very few sections. This makes it quite hard to test query and frontend efficiency for larger courses and larger sections. This PR adds a few additional courses, with various combinations of many sections vs. many students per section.
