Unfriendly date error

[therizhao]

Expected

• Should at least tell user when are the boundary dates

Actual

• It expects user to memorise the calendar and know what are the boundary days for all months for this year (Not everyone knows the number of days in Feb)

Team's Response

Thank you for the response!

Our team understood the concern, but we decided to reject this issue as a bug after careful consideration because we believe that it is reasonable to assume that our target users (students enrolled in CS2103/T) possess the general knowledge on the number of days in each month and the boundary days, considering that they are qualified to enter NUS which is considered a prestigious tertiary education university with high entry requirement. It will be rude for developers to ignore the education background of target users and provide them with knowledge that they should have learnt since primary school.

Also, the warning message will be unnecessarily long and hence hard to read if we provide unnecessary details on the boundary days for ALL months.

Again, thank you for the response!

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Didn't know it's required to know how many days there are in February every year to enter NUS. I guess I don't qualify for NUS then.
