Heuristic Evaluation

Due Weds. April 20, 2005

Using the heuristics discussed in class, as well as Jakob Nielsen's 10 heuristic guidelines, evaluate a web site or interface based on the heuristic guidelines.

The students will be required to explain why heuristics are important, display a screen print of the screen in question, which heuristic is violated, provide a rating and a suggestion on how the violation can be fixed.
