Feature Brief

This feature will will help users understand the grade distribution of the courses and in the end help in the process of deciding the courses and prof. selection.

I am user who relies on past data to help me plan my courses. I am trying to choose a prof. and a course for my degree plan. But its tough to decide the prof. because there are lots of courses/prof. to choose and there is no single page with all data which makes me feel tired and frustrated.

  • To organize the course/prof. data in a visually appealing manner.

  • To help the user decide the prof/course easily using appropriate metrics easily understandable by the user.

  • To help user decide with ease meaning in as least time as possible.

  • To improve the overall conversion rate rate and improve user satisfaction.

If we <achieve/enable X>, then <user behavior Y changes in this way> leading to positive metrics <Z>. Include guesses for the size of the win on specific metrics, using past launches as a baseline.

John, a student planning his next semester, visits our platform to choose his courses and professors. He navigates to the Grade Distribution Dashboard, where he finds detailed grade distribution data for each course and professor. John appreciates the transparency and historical performance insights provided by the feature, which help him confidently make his choice.

  • V1: Develop the Grade Distribution Dashboard to display course grade and course evaluation distribution data including the teaching style of the professor. (See requirements for more details)

  • Later Versions: Add features addons

  • Project Size: This is a medium-sized project.

  • Rollout/Testing Plan:

    • A/B Testing the Designs.

    • Roll out to a select group of users for beta testing before a full release.

  • We considered a more elaborate recommendation system but decided to prioritize data transparency and user control over automated recommendations. So we do not recommend courses in any way.

Include some mocks or a prototype to illustrate the concept. (Add links)

    • Implement filtering options for users to narrow down their selections for viewing the course evaluation distributions in a better way based on specific criteria such as from- to for semesters.

    • General Coursebook information - user can easily view the syllabus contents in a single page and can have access to amount of assignments, exams, grading style and other information.

  • UX:

    • Ensure the dashboard is responsive and user-friendly on both desktop and mobile devices.

    • Design clear and intuitive visualizations to present the data effectively.

  • Risk: Potential performance issues when loading and displaying large datasets.

    • Mitigation:

  • How frequently will grade distribution data be updated, and from which sources?

  • Do all of the courses have course evaluation available?

  • Conducted user surveys to understand the demand for grade distribution data.

  • Reviewed user feedback regarding course and professor selection challenges.

  • Analyzed existing grade distribution data sources and their reliability.

  • Conducted user testing to understand the user emotion.

  • No labels
