Hi PandaMoOo, I've asked three colleagues today for their feedback on GradeCalPoly.com. All three of them told me that they like the previous (GoodBadTenured.com) website rather than the current site (GradeCalPoly.com). Why is that I asked. The layout was much simpler.
I thought about it and I have a new suggestion for you PandaMoOo. Why not make the index page similar to Google.
Place a nice searchbox right in the center.
Students type in the professor name in the box and hit enter. The website will spit out the search results and display the professor evaluations. And the students have the option to add their own evaluation by clicking on a "Grade A Professor" link.
Google is very popular and one of the factor is that the front index page is very simple to use and concise in design. People type in whatever they want to search for and wah lah! Lot of times, students want things right away and making the frontpage concise will benefit all students and professors
Just a thought. What do others think?
