Hi, there are 3 books that are summarized already. There are 3 questions for each book that need to be answered. go over the summary for each book and answer the question. Everything is included in the doc

Objectives: To practice professional writing style, tone, and design; improve research skills using business, academic, and major specific literature; develop analytical skills; develop skills for collaborative peer review.

Purpose: To inform, analyze, and persuade

Audience: The company for which you are analyzing its website.

You must first get approval for your research via the Research Proposal assignment. FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE (CS MAJORS): You will conduct the heuristic evaluation assignment as the final project. Specifics below. FOR NON-CS MAJORS: CS majors will be conducting heuristic evaluations. Non-CS majors can choose to perform this same activity from a non-CS major perspective, or you can conduct one of three types of classical reports to try to solve an issue in your fields of study: a causal (not casual!!!) report: What is the cause of this problem? Here’s what I recommend to solve X. a comparative report: Comparing two issues: Is X better than Y? Which parts are better? Which parts are worse? Here’s what I recommend moving forward. a feasibility report: Would it be feasible to do X? Here’s what I say.. In your research proposal, you must tell me which one of the four options you are going to do. Your goal is to propose solutions by providing usable information to a company/group through one of these types of reports.

PART II (students choosing the Heuristic Evaluation)

THE HEURISTIC EVALUATION

For this assignment, you will analyze an approved website of your choice for usability and design, identify the problem(s), conduct research, propose a solution(s), and make recommendations to improve the website in a fully coherent, professionally designed report. This project could be useful for your portfolio of abilities you can use for showcasing your talents to prospective employers (and maybe even include as a bullet/project in your rsum?)

In order to accomplish the goals of this assignment, you will analyze the goals of the company, conduct a heuristic evaluation of the companys website, and write a heuristic evaluation report, where you will share your findings and use research to provide recommendations.

Wait, What’s a Heuristic Evaluation?

A heuristic evaluation is a usability engineering method developed by Jakob Nielsen to determine usability issues with a website. This type of evaluation requires the testers to use a set of evaluators to examine the website and assess if it meets guidelines which coincide with the usability principles defined by Nielsen.

Here are links to his articles. YOU NEED TO READ THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

• (you should pick three of these to test your website)
• Extra assistance for understanding the Heuristic Evaluations .

Before you begin:

Before you begin this assignment, you will need to research the various tools to conduct usability testing. While Jakob Nielsens 10 Usability Heuristics for Interface Design is a good start, there are other resources online that can help you determine which evaluators to choose; is good place to start.

When you begin:

Keep in mind that your research may result in problems that the company is not aware of. For example:

1. The company may not be targeting the intended audience.
2. The set-up of the website may not be functional (This issue is most evident in user experience testing.)
3. The website may be lacking information.
4. The layout and colors of the website may not be engaging
5. The company may benefit from using different layouts, etc
6. The company may benefit from using different methods of advertising.
7. The company may ______________ (you fill in the blank).

Your evaluation of the website will help you identify what is or is not working. After you have conducted the Heuristic Evaluation and analyzed the results, you will research other companies that offer similar services to help you to identify what your chosen company needs to address; therefore, in your report, you can use other websites as examples of how this company should design the website. You can also include positives! This isnt just a negative report.

Beginning the assignment:

The company/owner of your website will serve as your client for this assignment, not me. Your job will be to:

1. Evaluate the companys website,
2. Analyze AND write down your findings
3. Research similar websites
4. And make recommendations (in the form of an heuristic evaluation report) based on the needs of your chosen company.

Please Note: These websites are off-limits, due to so many students reviewing them in the past: Craigslist Wikipedia Facebook Zara.com Twitter/X Reddit Yales Art Library Miami-Dade College My.FIU.EDU Crunchyroll, MAX, Netflix, Apple TV….any of the streaming services. Think about websites you use for shopping or other activities. Think about local restaurants. I find that many local restaurants can improve their websites.

PARAMETERS OF THE ASSIGNMENT

Your report will have all the necessary sections outlined in the course materials for a basic, professional report. The report (from intro to conclusion) should demonstrate your thorough evaluation, analysis and research.

PART III (all students):

Here is a link to a

Your report should use this report as a model for the cover, the Table of Contents, the Executive Summary, the use of APA or MLA citation format in the body, and the Works Cited. For those of you NOT doing the heuristic evaluation, the body should mirror the body of this report, in the very least.

Here is a link to a

. For those of you conducting the HE, your body of the report COULD mirror this design style for communicating clearly.

Further Criteria:

1. Your report should be an expert analysis of the issues and how the company/group could best use what you propose.
2. This report should NOT be an informative summary of the issues; rather, explain specifically what you identified and how, when, and why your project will work as a solution to the problem.
3. The body of the report should be a MINIMUM of 5-6 single-spaced pages NOT including title page, table of contents, executive summary, works cited (references), optional appendices, and visuals. Dont freak out. With visuals: screenshots, charts and graphs, most of these student reports have gone well over 20 pages.Your report will also inform/persuade the company how and why they will benefit from what you are proposing. See the rubric for the points for each section.
4. The report should be visually appealing with headings and subsections clearly labeled. The material should be delivered in a combination of short paragraphs and (some) bulleted lists for easy skimming. The report should NOT be entirely made up of long paragraphs or solid text.
5. You should use a minimum of four (4) visuals, charts or other visual data, in your project, including screenshots of possible redesigns. You may also add this data as appendices and reference them in the body of your project. Please keep in mind that an image/picture does not count as a visual.
6. You must provide in-text citations and a works cited (references) for all the sources used in the report in MLA or APA format.
7. You must have a minimum of 5 credible sources (if conducting the HE, three of these may be the Nielsen website articles.) Do not include direct quotes unless they add great value. Paraphrase and or summarize material and provide the proper citation. These sources are used as your support of what professionals report good website construction should have. For example, According to web researcher Spongebob Squarepants, websites should limit their aquatic images so that viewers do not get seasick (21). Quarterdecks website almost appears to be underwater, making use and viewing of the website very difficult and causing seasickness with two out of four testers.
