More prominent warning over degree audit

BrandonLim8890 opened this issue · 2 comments

Although an important feature for our project, the "degree audit" sidebar can almost never be 100% accurate, and users should not be solely relying on us to validate whether they are able to graduate. As such, we should implement a better warning than what we have now.

Current design:

Ideas:

  • Something "over" the sidebar that blurs the background, and requires the user to acknowledge that it may be unreliable before using the sidebar

Here are some other warnings that we should also consider. Don't be afraid to break this up into further issues to make it easier to manage once we identify exactly what we are going to be creating

  1. A general warning over the app to basically say that we shouldn’t be the one source of truth for graduating and that we are just a tool to help
  2. A warning over the sidebar stating again that its not fully accurate, even for majors that we have checked (we already have this but need to make it more prominent)
  3. A warning over certain requirements within a major that we have hand-validated (we already have this but make it more prominent?)
  4. A warning over beta majors
  5. Maybe a warning when we show pre/co-reqs?

@BrandonLim8890 Is this what you mean by number 3? This warning seems good enough to me Screenshot 2024-02-08 at 4 11 03 PM

Also something someone brought up in the designer meeting - We should probably limit our warnings to some degree because otherwise users might not even want to use our app

Hi im gonna post designs for warnings here:

  1. A warning over the sidebar stating again that its not fully accurate, even for majors that we have checked -- Here
  2. Beta major warnings -- Here
  3. Warning over certain requirements within a major that we have hand-validated -- Here
  4. Pre req/co req warning -- Here
  5. Coachmark -- Here

Will add more later. still need to get feedback from designer meeting on wed! they are all almost done so should be good for handoff end of week.
