Looks like this mod has been a shitshow for a long time looking at the reviews and it has not gotten better since.

For my semster there are two types of deadlines in Canvas ( hard deadline, soft deadline ) .

I liked that it was broken up into phases but everything just felt very poorly organized.

The deadlines kept getting changed and also each milestone for the project was locked and only released with one week to work on it. Everything was very vague and have to dig out key information in the ed forum, for example the page limit for an assignment is not mentioned anywhere in the assignment page, but only as a post in Ed.

There are also peer reviews but it was done it a very weird format. I had taken HCI and peerfeedback was excellent.

There are also many synchronous events like meetings with TA which was difficult for teams in different regions.

Workload is manageable but this lack of planning by the teaching team makes it really hard to work on projects

This is a core mod for HCI spec, so those who are forced to take it have to slug through it, but if you can i would avoid this mod like the plague, this was the worst mod i have taken in OMSCS by far
