By the time we received feedback on specifically the interim report there was only a week left to pick our design, finalize our design and clean up any other problems and then we had to make slides to sum up our project. Combining this with five other courses with other assignments and midterms, I felt that it was really time restrictive. I feel like instead of being due that first Sunday just before reading week maybe the Thursday or Friday of reading week would have been better so that the slides had enough time to be composed. It also feels like the TAs prefer to mark the paper copy which we didn’t hand in till the Monday after reading week.

However I feel like the feedback forced us to really make our writing concise and more applicable in the professional environment even though a lot of it went against we were taught in the rest of our schooling in regards to word usage, commas, and harsh
