• You will test the usability of a site.
  Directions: You have been enlisted by the designers of a website to test its usability. They want you to visit the assigned site and attempt to do the task as instructed. In class, we will identify problems we encounter in completing that task, why they were problems and recommendations for fixing them. As time permits, we will:
  

1. Attempt to purchase a T-shirt from Bow-WowBooks.com.
2. Attempt to discover the price of frilly pajamas in a child's size with the KC Online Catalog.
3. Attempt to purchase a tie-bar that says "Mile High" on TallyHoUniforms.com.
