lysis Method 5 Key Learning: We created context for the questions used in Michelle’s session. Approximately 400 freshmen students applied to Herron last fall. Out of students surveyed, 18% of the those students reported having significant confusion during the application process, which tells us that this definitely area for opportunity. These same freshmen gave an average of 8 out of 10 rating for their admissions experience as a whole, but specifically for the usability of the website, a rating 7 out of 10. Some of the comments regarding the websit cited a lack of hierarchy, which made navigation difficult, a lack of admissions specific material readily available, and having had to use the search bar more often than expected in order to find needed information.
