Undergraduate Student Responses

# Stat. Relate Where Why Useful Public. Like Dislike Other
1 US - - - - - Very informative Have a link directly to webmail -
2 US - - - - - The new layout and more information and content on the index page. I like the use of images underneth the navigation buttons. The logo in the upper right hand coner doesnt contrast very well with the darkgreen background the shadow color should be white not black. Overall I think it is an improvment to last years design. I would like to see the College of engineering pages to be redesinged though.
3 US - - - - - - - -
6 US - - - - - I like how everything is categorized and I can usually find things quickly and easily. The overall design is very good, just adding more content, such as specific fee information regarding graduate studies. Also maybe offering graduate checklist and O forms available for on-line completion. -
7 US - - - - - The design and appearance. - -
9 US - - - - - - - -
10 US - - - - - Its easy to use and the info is presented in an easy-to -access format - -
13 US - - - - - I like that when I have a question pertaining to Wright State I can merely look on our webpage and find my answer. Not only does it save time but it also informs me about O things. - -
19 US - - - - - - - -
21 US - - - Student Organizations - The pictures of current students! It's great to see my friends and fellow students on the web pages because they're all very active at WSU. - -
24 US - - - - - The colors and pictures...shows O people what we have by them being able to see it (it helped me choose WSU!) Get rid of the picture of the big red thing...that is NOT art, nor does it represent our school! I like the new design! Very nice!
25 US - - - - - - - -
27 US - - - - - The colors I don't know -
28 US - - WebCT WebCT - I like the fact that when I hook up to the internet from mydorms, this web page appears. It saves me a lot of time and hassle. I also like that anything that i need to find about WSu is on the webpage, and that important info/news is always on the main screen. Maybe make it a little bit more organized. I haven't really looked at the new page, but it looks like you have already made a step in the right direction. None that I can thinm of right now.
29 US - - - - - - - -
30 US - - - - - Pages aren't too complex (meaning not too many links on one page). Change it back to the way it has been for the last year. -
31 US - - - - - I like ROX. It makes it so much easier than just listening on the phone for Raider Express. - I think it's great
32 US - - - - - - - -
35 US - - - - - - - -
36 US - - - - - - - -
38 US - - online classes - - fairly easy to navigate some titles are confusing when navigating the site...you get into dead ends w/out the information you needed -
41 US - - - - - - - -
43 US - - - - - It has some picture of the college. It show you all you need to know. Really you don't need to change anything at all because it is quick and easy to get to and understand. -
46 US - - - - - It is very well organized. Improve the search option. keep up the good work
50 US - - - - - - - -
53 US - - - - - - Looks like you made some good improvments already. -
55 US - - - - - - - -
56 US - - - - - - - -
59 US - - - - - All the information that i could need is here. I would like to see more of our mascot -
60 US - - - - - I like the new design. Took a little while to get used to, but overall it is very appealing. I think it's pretty good right now. :-)
62 US - - - - - It has many hyperlinks to O pages so that you don't have to search for them. You can just touch the one that you want. I think that maybe if you put down on the a site of this one that would let you go to the section of the school that you wanted to go to. I.E. College of Business button or School of Medicine for example. That way people can go to the site that they want to see quickly if they don't know the address. -
63 US - - - - - It is easy to find certain things that you need to find. Add the dining hours. none
65 US - - - - - no comment no comment no comment
66 US - - - - - I like the new design of the website. The part I like best about the website is it's ease of finding everything I utilize during my visits to the website. The one improvement to the website would to add the ability to register for classes through the website through ROX. Class registration through ROX.
68 US - - - - - Very organized and easy to use. - -
69 US - - take an online quiz - - N/A more graphics, and more eye catching -
73 US - - - - - This website looks very modern and well thought out. The pictures seem to be a bit non-realistic. Very rarely are there just a couple people in the quad, it should be shown how it really is, full of people. And the buildings seem further apart than they actually are and it makes the campus seem larger. If that is the desired effect, good job, but Owise it seems kind of misleading to me. -
76 US - - - - - It's very easy to use Looks good already Good job!
77 US - - - - - - - -
80 US - - - - - The faculty/student directory is good. ROX is pretty good. Why don't you make the menus on the front page interactive? For example, when the mouse hovers over "Academics" that should expand into a list of colleges and departments. For an example, look at how www.slate.com works. Also, any page that has a form should use Java to put the focus into the first field automatically. This may seem insignificant but it adds up. For an example, see www.altavista.com and notice how you don't have to click in the search field; you're already there. -
81 US - - - - - - - -
82 US - - I have to when I sign on from my dorm room. - - It looks nice and has most of what I need in one place. I mentioned this in an email to you, but I would love for it to have the current weather at Wright State on it. Since I access this site every morning, it could eliminate one website I have to visit before I leave the room. -
84 US - - - - - - - -
85 US - - Athletics - - I like the brand new look to the home page. Also, the search engine works very well. - -
87 US - - - - - The links get you exactly where you want to go More graphics in some areas (student life), and more student organizations online It's easy to navigate
88 US - - - - - - - -
89 US - - - - - - - -
90 US - - - - - - - -
92 US - - - - - it is easy to access information have a webmail icon on homepage -
93 US - - - - - - - -
94 US - - - - - Everything is easy to find and it is easy to access. I really don't know? I really enjoy the athletics pages.
95 US - - - - - I like the new disign. Add more pictures of students adn of things at Wright State. -
96 US - - - - - easy access to information include more pictures of African-Americans and O minorities in different academic settings there are none
97 US - - Athletics - - The website is overall visually actractive. It contains information that is very valuable to current students. Putting ROX and WebCT on the homepage is a help to current students who access those pages often. Although the website is overall visually actractive, I believe that is could be improved. Every page has a white background. I understand that this is more readable but gets visually boring. Especially on the homepage. The facilities at WSU are some of the best around. They need to be featured more. A direct link to the facilities on campus needs to be on the homepage. Also, many O athletics sites have facilities on their homepage. Why not highlight the great athletic facilities that WSU has? Also, a running scoreboard on the athletics site, like the one on the horizon league site, would be great. Overall, WSU has one of the best websites of colleges that I've seen. -
98 US - - - - Fogdog and Nexus (assuming, of course, that the funding is still around for them to publish in the future) I attended University of Dayton for my freshman year, and comparing their web site to WSU's is like comparing stone to water. WSU's site provides a lot of good information on the school at large, and the sub-sites (i.e. the COLA site and the Dept. of English site)only improve the information. (UD on the O hand is very hard to navigate). The site almost has too much information on it. Just opening the "Current Students" section and trying to find out about General Education Requirements takes time. The first time I accessed this site, now probably two years ago, I had a very hard time finding COLA and English sites, but that has been improved. -
99 US - - - WecCT - - - -
101 US - - - - - I love being able to reserve library books from home, access course reserves, check my e-mail, and look up the current course offerings. I would like to be able to register for my classes online. Great website :)
102 US - - - - - - - -
104 US - - - - - it looks better and newer now...i havent looked at the updates yet, but it looks great i remember before coming here, wanting more in depth virtual tour guides...like inside buildings, as well as just looking at the general vicinity -

107 US - - - - - - - -
108 US - - - - - - - -
114 US - - - - - Easy to navigate Nothing No
116 US - - - - - - - -
129 US - - - - Bits and PC's Very easy to find what I am looking for and very handy for many different applications from checking my grades to finding lecture notes. Cover the student organizations a little more. Possibly give new students a better understanding of campus housing, etc. Excellent site.
130 US - - - - - - - -
135 US - - - - - The layout I do not know none
138 US - - - - - Easy Access to needed information More Direct links to outside sources of information -
141 US - - - - - ROX - -
142 US - - - - - I like the new layout - -
143 US - - - - - It is easy to navigate. Add information on local events in the community (Fairborn, Dayton, etc.). -
145 US - - - - - Simplicity doesn't need any -
146 US - - Email - - I like that there is a LOT of info online. Make the Current Students page easier to find things on. For instance, alphabetize EVERYTHING on the page. Or categorize it more clearly & specifically. Update it more often. Maybe you need to hire some additional people to change pictures and O often-updatable things on the site more often. For instance, the Honors page needs some new pictures. (Come to the dorm and take pictures of us!)
147 US - - - - - This website is typically very current. It has all of the changes, and keeps me on top of things throught my community. Perhaps, maybe some of the hyperlinks could be in "working condition." I remember when I tried finding out about student organizaions on campus, some of them were not in working condition. I could not open the sites. -
152 US - - Athletics - - Easy to get around Make it more graphic and colorful none
154 US - - - - - Its east to use!! Open ROX later!! -

169 US - - - - - the pictures - -
170 US - - - - - - - -
172 US - - - - - The site is user friendly for students and parents. Self explanatory and relatively easy to access for how to questions. The library site can be tedious especially if you are trying to access online publications and are looking for full text citations, not just the abstracts. -
187 US - - - - - I use it for a lot of my classes.It is very helpful - -
190 US - - - - - easy navigation n/c n/c

195 US - - - - - Availability of class offerings Registration online -
199 US - - - - bits and pc's from College of Eng and Computer Science I like the redesigned homepage. Having links to ROX and WebCT there in one place is great. On the atletics site, it would be nice to see a rotating scoreboard with the latest scores on it. -
200 US - - - - - - - -
201 US - - - - - - - -
202 US - - - - - - - -
206 US - - - - - the rox menu - -
207 US - - - - - I like that it's easy to access and has lots of information for students and Os. - I was looking on here to find out if students get free tickets to games...didn't find it. Maybe it's just not on here or I'm looking at the wrong place. Not sure! I like the website.
212 US - - - - - - - -
213 US - - - - - - On the Home Page give the website for the WSU e-mail. -
214 US - - - - none The quality of the design and the graphics It is very hard to find things. Sometimes I come to the site looking for informationa and cannot find it. The search is weak, I don't think I've ever used it and ended up finding what I searched for. I would like to see a site map--a flow chart that shows how pages are linked (It doesn't have to be very detailed) and the titles of the pages so that I can quickly find what I'm looking for. I appreciate all the strides being made with ROX and hope to see it continue in the future -

243 US - - - - - Straightforward accessibility more campus news on events coming to wsu -
244 US - - - - - I like the avalibility to access class offering and the number of seats left in each section. Do not know. N/A
246 US - - - - - I like the changes you have made since the last time I visited and also that you allow the use of ROX on-line. Make a scroll bar for each page with the main menu on it so people can always access it without going back to the main page. -
251 US - - - - - Fastest way to get info. Use ROX to schedual classes. -
252 US - - - - - user friendly - -

274 US - - webct - - - - -
278 US - - - - - I like how organized everything is. It is easy to find things. Maybe more pictures from around WSU. -
280 US - - - - - It is updated every day or sometimes more often than that Make sure that all of the links (specifically the residence services links) are updated. Future students want to know about what's going on and where they may be living. Fix those links! The new look is great!
282 US - - - - - - Make easier to navagate -
283 US - - - - - The updated look and the ease of using it - -
284 US - - athletics - - various links make it easy to find things the opening page (home page) is not very appealing. Liked it better before -
285 US - - - - - - - -
287 US - - - - - - I liked the previous setup better because of the simplicity of the homepage. It is now too cluttered. -
288 US - - - - - - - -
289 US - - - - - most of it is outlined to get where you need to get to put the library link on there -
290 US - - - - - All the information a student needs is right here at their finger tips. Don't have to search all over to find what you need. ROX is wonderful! I liked the old design of the web page. I feel that it was a little easier to read and easier to maneuver around it. -

302 US - - - - - the new look! easy to navigate - -
303 US - - - - - - - -
304 US - - - - - - In some ways, I believe that the website should have a uniform look, including all of the various department pages. If the navigation/layout of all pages was standardized, then finding the specific information one is looking for would become easier. -
305 US - - - - - The new look front page is very nice. It also downloads faster for dial up connections. Better access to student tools. The e-mail access page is almost impossible to find. Also the Electronic reserves are difficult to navigate -
306 US - - it is the homepage on the computer I am using - - It is in depth with everything and has every feature imaginable for a university website committed to informing and helping instructors with classes and students with learning and finding things. Make it look like it did previous to this new layout. that layout was the best. it's cool.
308 US - - - - - - - -

327 US - - - - - - - -
328 US - - - - - Easy to understand and access - -
329 US - - - - - The new design is quite good, but not all departments fit the new look. I think the New U logo needs more colors. Having ROX on the home page is so much easier then when I had to type it in before or try to find it somewhere else in the pages.
330 US - - - - - - - -
331 US - - - - - Easy to manuever around. It's great! -

414 US - - - - - it is easy, one touch access, you don't get confussed with 50 million side pages I wouldn't change a thing, I think it is good the way it is. -
416 US - - - - - Easy to use This site is better then the last one. -
417 US - - - - - - - -
420 US - - - - - I like the new design. It is easier to read. you could make finding the faculty's email addresses easier to find. it would be nice not go have to go through five or six different screens when two or three would be plenty. -
421 US - - - - - Self explanatory and easy to use. I think it's really good and there isn't a need for improvement. -
422 US - - - - - - - I think the new design is confusing because I am so used to the old page setup. It is still a good site, but it is more difficult for me to navigate.
423 US - - - - - - - -
424 US - - - - - It provides all of the information that I need as a Student. No need to improve. none

431 US - - - - - simple and easy to go from one page to the next n/a n/a
432 US - - - - - I think its fine, nothing much else to say about it. Like I said, I think its fine. -
433 US - - it's my homepage - - I like the way the campus and programs at Wright State University are displayed. The university is shown in very good light and potential and present students are able to see where they are going to go to school. Also students are able to easily access places such as the library from their own computers or from one of the computer labs. This web site helps students easily navigate to more information. One possible improvement to this site could be a message board from current students, and anO one for potential students to ask questions and get a students point of view. This site is very well put together and the new layout seems to be a lot more organized.
435 US - - - - - - - -
436 US - - - - - how easy it is to get around the site, and how easy it is to find what you're looking for more graphics -
438 US - - webmail - - I can get everything i need from just one page and i don't have to search the web. It saves me a lot of time and effort.Its easily accesible and in my opinion, very helpful for my needs. I dont have any suggestions I Like it a lot
439 US - - - - - Easy to navigate. Laid out very well. n/a -
442 US - - - - - easy to use links Most sports web-pages for colleges have a bio for every athlete they have. Wright State only has a few, you guys should do one for all of them. People are interested in that stuff. -
446 US - - - -
