Confusing return message for weight #2

Open ailanthustng opened 4 years ago

What I intepret from the current message is that the weight of this task and only this task should be between 0 to 100. However I think what you meant is that the total weight of all the components of that mod should add up to a 100.

Suggestion: I think naming it "weightage" is more relevant. Initially I thought weight meant how heavy this task would be on my schedule rather than the % weightage.

Team's Response

For each module, the max total weight is 100.

Thus for each task under a particular module, the weight should be <= 100 :)

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: I understand that it max total weightage of a single module is 100. That was in the UG.

However, what I feel is that maybe in addition to the current message, another message should be written to remind users that "the total weightage of tasks in a module is up to a 100".

Also, "weight" here is very confusing. Weight can mean how complex the user thinks the task is, which is what I thought initially. Before seeing the message displayed. I thought it would be something like "easy", "hard", etc. Hence, to clear this confusion, "weightage" should be used instead since it tallys with what majority of student understand by weightage of an assignment, lab, homework, etc.
