User test results 1

The user understood the main purpose of the site after examining the home page and reading the tagline. She also understood the main parts and features of the website. Here are some suggestions generated based on the tasks we asked her to complete:

Change:
1) The name of our site: at first glance it gives off the wrong idea and confuses users
2) Instead of asking for rank, as for graduation date. This prevents confusion for freshmen with enough credits to be technically sophomores, but are not really college sophomores
3) The email text should just say “enter your OSU email address” so they know to put the entire email address, not just their name and dot #
4) Get rid of the external links because it may make people think that you can actually schedule on schedulizer, or we we should add descriptions for each link
5) put the “search by” sidebar in the navigation bar instead
6) How they decide on class structure. Some classes are a mixture of multiple styles (lecture, online lectures, and case studies). Allow them to pick multiple
7) Clarify that you’re supposed to put the professor’s name into the “professor” box, not a description of them

Add:
1) a major requirements chart that can be saved for each user
