Evaluation of Dell's Website
For the semester, we were requested to pick a website to evaluate and perform usability reviews of. Most groups were 4-5 members, however, due to circumstances, our group dropped to 2 members, of which I was on campus and my partner was a remote student. This was a good experience in working with remote colleagues. My partner and I choose to focus on the Dell website.
