Overview

There are three assignments for the course, which account for 75% of the final grade.

Critique (25%)

Research and write a short (500-word) informal critique of the website at http://www.jbizmech.ca.

Here are some questions to consider: What are the site's communications goals? Examine how the site is structured, how the navigation works, and how easy it is to use. Does it violate Krug's primary rule of usability and make you think?  Is it easy to find the information you want? Is the appropriate level of technology applied?  Is it aesthetically pleasing? Are there interactive elements?  How well does it do with Krug's "trunk test"? 

You only have 500 words, so you will need to have a strategy for dealing with your critique -- are you going to focus on the major problems and recommend changes? Outline all the problems in point form? Discuss what is good and bad about the site? Take me through an analysis based on the Trunk Test or some other evaluation criteria? It is up to you, but make sure you don't go over that 500-word limit!

Please hand this assignment in on paper (hard copy).
