I just learned about the final project for one of my information sciences classes (whose focus is on usability and psychology of the user):

Basically, I need to take the website of a business or other organization, critique various aspects of it, pointing out areas for improvement, then propose enhancements/solutions to the shortcomings, run a bunch of tests to quantitatively compare the differences made, and write a 20+ page paper on the whole ordeal.

[SIZE=2] I was wondering if anyone here could recommend any websites that might be appropriate?[/SIZE]

The focus is on usability/functionality, and while design has a great deal of influence on such things, design problems alone wouldn’t be enough for the project. And while the site will need to have a fair amount of flaws, I think we’re still supposed to pick one that’s somewhat professional. Local businesses are fine. My professor encouraged us to select a company/organization that might actually listen to some of the suggestions, so huge corporations aren’t really ideal.

I’m having a hard time coming up with sites that fit the bill, so I would be really appreciative of any suggestions. 😃
