Comment: More feedback for Joe

...

  1. Bring action bar to front (on all tabs), so content scrolls up behind it, not in front.
  2. Breadcrumbs: Are we going to use UG degrees or UG programmes?
  3. Would image behind BAS be the same as for a topic (if it was in fact the same thing)? Is this type of familiarity good? Could certainly work for "subject-major" pairs. If you want?
  4. Are we suggesting Enrol (of Apply as a better word) too early. Please look at the suggested process and lets decide whether we or it needs to change.
  5. Intro/About: Maybe try not to state all the majors in the first sentence, as they listed in a "table" soon after in the Degree overview
  6. Where is the Programme options section/content? Seems to be missing
  7. Degree overview: Could the video block be swapped out and a profile/testimony/story come in? They already exist in pour publications so could be re-purposed?
  8. International disclaimer: I like the concept but the wording will need work (probably no 3 year UG degree that is not suitable for international students, suggesting another programme could be challenging (on what basis/data?), etc. I have a specific section below for international feedback, and we will of course speak to Charles.
  9. Show domestic fee or, if international is set, international, not both.
  10. Tell me how the next related events block works (and note that I think this is a valuable feature)? Date sensitive? Location sensitive? Related to the level of degree I am viewing? 
    1. Could we also have one on the topic/subject page?
  11. Similar programmes: A good idea (and might be how we can suggest something else similar) but do we need a content/data source for this? Is it only at degree level? Faculties might baulk at giving another programme if outside of their faculty, so we need to proceed with care here. Probably more sensible at the PG level, where there are far more options and some/many "nest" with each other.
  12. Great to know: Content needs improvement, but block is useful.
  13. Should this page/tab be where we give the textual description of the majors, rather than on the planning as you have it now? Seems that this type of information might sit better on an about page than a planning. User might even be able to select one here, if not done by which subject page they arrived from.
  14. What you will study: Why are there two titles the same? I have changed the second to "Further study". The content for the first one seems a bit lame. 
  15. Need more information: Maybe swap out Student allowances (and use it for a how to fund your study section on the fees and scholarships tab) and replace it with a link to the Faculty (as they "mange" the degree)

  1. Introduction might seem to similar to what should be on the apply tab
  2. How will we denote default major (based on subject value)?
  3. Second major is extremely rare in BAS so maybe leave it unset for this example
  4. Make clearer My understanding is that the drop downs list all listed majors (and minors/other subjects) in the BAS, where as the link for all other majors are allow me to select 1 or 2 of the listed majors for the BAS and that the link will (essentially) select all. This leaves me with some questions:
    1. Where do we handle listed minors/other subjects (see other BA subjects example)
    2. Do we need to allow users to see a listing of all other external majors (meaning those from other degrees) that are (usually) permitted for inclusion for the degree in question
    but
    1. ? Working with these would
    definitely
    1. need Advisor input or assistance
    )
    1. .
  5. Should the whole select major block be a little further down the page? I know that this will throw out the "table of content" but it seems out of place being this high up. But then it is really required early on, so maybe we are just missing a little of the context at the top of the page, eg "Students are required to select one of the following four majors in which they focus their courses and learning. Please select one from the following list."
  6. We probably also need another pattern for the "select major block, one for when a second major (listed or external) is extremely unlikely and discouraged. This pattern would apply to BAS and maybe also the BE
  7. Why is (Major #1) in brackets in the table?
  8. Not quite sure where the Major #1, Major #2 and Other major anchor links would take me? Shouldn't the block have major rules (see point 7 below)
  9. Admission is the first hurdle and requires meeting university entrance requirements: Domestic differs from international, who have a whole different process.  
  10. Is it a little over-stated to have uni admission stated so clearly on this tab? Would it be better handled on the Apply tab?
  11. Mention of continuing under the BBSc is too strong. Lets leave that for more personalised advice.
  12. In major areas do we want to link them back to Careers on the subject section of the topic page?
  13. Challenge of two majors: While I appreciate how hard it is to present information for two majors on a small screen it is probably nonsensical to show degree planning examples sequentially, when the majors are studied concurrently.
  14. About undergraduate degrees might also be a valuable link for the "Need more information? block at the bottom of the page.

Planning your programme of study

I think this whole planner has become a little unwieldy and needs tightening up. I also believe that we should do the static image example courses like in GUS first and in a subsequent release add in an interactive planner.Using exactly the same examples as in GUS would be useful reinforcement, with the possibility of having additional examples online where space is cheaper. We could even get to the point of having one example per major (with second majors shown as "generic" allowing us to show a relevant example for any major selected.

  1. We need course colouring for the five course types shown for the BCom (pg 69 of GUS): Core, 1st major, 2nd major, minor, and elective. Not all degrees need all five, but at least one does.
  2. Lets not use schedule, as it means something in the calendar. Maybe Degree example, as in the GUS
  3. Explain to me the reason for the General courses / Example courses switch.
  4. I would prefer it if core, specialisation and elective were visibly different due to style, not use of the words. Lets make it more like the GUS, unless we can do better and then ask them to change to be like the web (smile)
  5. Please try to balance the trimesters out a little better.
