Chapter 1: Exercise 1


Form small groups and study the home page of your college or university’s website. Focus on three measures of excellence in technical communication: clarity, accessibility, and professional appearance. How effectively does the home page meet each of these measures of excellence?

Re: University of Arizona 

The purpose of this memo is to review the page layout and writing style decisions from the University of Arizona. 
The link is available: http://www.arizona.edu/

According to the measures of excellence in technical communication, the University of Arizona website meets the requirements of clarity, accessibility, and professional appearance. For clarity the page highlights the accomplishments of the school. Being top 100 among the Top 100 in World, Reputation Ranking along with amazing hospital and law school. There goal is to get someone to explore there school and attend the University of Arizona. Based off appearance they are doing a great job by showing pictures of the school and all the relevant activity the university per takes in. For accessibility, its easy to navigate, they have apply, visit, virtual tour, girl and a search button to help people get the answers they want. 

Overall, I believe the home page meet each of these measures of excellence very effectively. The design is clean and easy to navigate around. There not unnecessary links or pages to find the appropriate information or to understand the website. I would send the link to anyone who is curious about the University of Arizona.

What are the three largest or most important professional organizations in your field?
