As Is Analysis - www.Koofers.com

Visibility of System Status
The site seems adequate in telling the user if a rating/review has been made yet.  As well, when you write a review/rating it immediately thanks you and confirms your submission of the specific professor and course.

Match between System and the Real World
The site uses appropriate language that is familiar to the user.  Information is logically displayed as a user is able to search a broad category (course name) and then to a more specific option (professor).

User Control and Freedom
User's choices are displayed in a linear fashion so the user can click to backtrack their broader searches.  Allows user's to easily go back to the course page and look at the different professors if they clicked on a professor and wants to review another after doing so.

Consistency and Standards
There is consistency within terms.  No confusion of what means what and if two phrases mean the same thing.

Error Prevention
Could not trigger error.

Recognition rather than Recall
The user is not forced to really recall information that has already been processed as the site shows a clickable stream of consciousness.  The user pretty much knows where they are in the website at all times.

Flexibility and Efficiency of Use
System could improve efficiency by condensing information and options.  Sidebar options are a bit redundant of the top banner options of the page.

Aesthetic and Minimalist Design













Aesthetic is pretty clean, but again, options can be condensed as they are a bit repetitive.

Help Users Recognize, Diagnose, and Recover from Errors
Could not prompt errors

Help and Documentation 
There is an "About Us" page as well as contact information of the contributors and social media connection.
