The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Progress bar not clearly explained
Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.
In the UG, the colors of the progress bars are clearly explained. However, the UG did not explain why the progress bars of different tasks vary in length, which can lead users to become confused as to what the length of the progress bar might indicate. Does it indicate how much of the task has been done, or how close to the deadline the task is?

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug
[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
We believe it is of low severity, as the colour bar refers to the deadline and thus it should be intuitive that the progress bar refers to how close the task is from the deadline. However, we agree there could be a possibility that users might be confused.

I liked the implementation of the progress bars and the touch of colour they added! Thought that the colour choice was also very appropriate!
However, I think it's not very clear what the length of the progress bars mean. I was looking at task 2 (the preloaded one) and was wondering for quite awhile why the bar wasn't filled if it was completed. I now assume that the length of the bar indicates how close we are to the deadline? Still unsure as this was not explicitly stated in the UG and hence, can be improved upon! :')
