List three positive elements of a visit to this site.	Easy-to-find content Visited links change color Site search function
List three negative elements of a visit to this site.	- At the time of my evaluation, the “home” button for the interior pages were out-of-work! - The main page is full of career opportunity announcements and links, which makes the user overloaded at the very beginning and the user wants to escape from the main page as soon as possible especially if his/her purpose to visit the link is other than looking for career opportunities. - Site map is unavailable
List five site features (from the list).	- chat room - banner ads for other sites - career opportunities - table of contents - photographs
How “deep” is the site? (How many sub-levels are there to each option on the Main Menu?)	Very shallow (1-3 levels deep)
How “wide” is the breadth of the site? (How many parallel options are there at the Main Menu?)	Very wide (9+ levels wide)
