Project Brief
We are researchers from the Bachelor of Design (Honours) Program at York University, and we are working on developing a new Visual Arts Website for current students and prospective students. The main scope of this website is to help current students better organize their course schedules, provide easy access to course information, and to provide a more dynamic and visual way of comprehending the courses that are available to students. This user study is conducted to better our understanding of our target users. We are going to show you the screen and ask you to perform some tasks, we are checking our work to see if it can actually help you. In no way are we testing your abilities but rather testing our website and looking for ways to improve it’s capabilities.

Bonus Test & Questions
//After each of the tests, we may ask the subject if they have time for another quick test. This will be a very general testing of the user’s experience of the overall site. They will be asked to look at each of the main pages (About, Students, People, Resources, and Facilities) and express any of their thoughts and feelings on the website’s ease of use, readability, navigation, etc. One person will be recording what is said.//
 * 1) What do you look first in these pages?
 * 2) Do you feel that the links are straightforward and clear enough?
 * 3) How appropriate are the quick links? Do you think that they show the most important information?
 * 4) Do you find the website visually appealing?
 * 5) What do you think can be improved on?
