Blog Assignment 3

Virginia College
http:www.vc.edu/bachelor-degrees/private-sector-accounting.com
It tells what prepares the paralegal for in job employment such as attorney office, courthouse, corporation, insurance companies, government agencies and ect. It also gives in detail the classes that are offer for this particular degree. The website also gives the statistics for the outlook for paralegal as well. It also demonstrated to me what this website was designed to be for which entry in the work place or advancement in this field. It also tells the amount of hours one has to have to graduate with a degree in this particular field. This college also offers the Paralegal Studies Degree on line. Virginia College website provides us with a detail description of what the student should learn after completing this degree. Some of the things to accomplish for soon to be paralegal is draft advanced legal documents, coordinate a successful job search, create a job search portfolio, employ critical thinking, employing skills in general education and conducting legal research, and prepare legal documents based on the same for a variety of legal fields integrating common, and legal specialty.

This website was my least favorite of two simple because of the layout. The first open page of this website talked about the history of the college more to me than what this program had to offer. I would have thought the first page would have been more persuading people to join their college. The website did not have any students huddling in a group making conversation. The web page to me was plain.
Overall purpose
1. The purpose of this is to encourage college student or future students to major in Paralegal Studies.
2. This is a rewarding major and I just hope to increase the number of students. This major also provides the student with a lot of the same task that are going to be required for the practice of law.
3. I think when student hear about what this major has to offer the number will increase dramatically. The disagree is also good in preparing student for law school as well.
4. The outcome of my desired reader provides me with uncertainty because this program at the University of Southern Miss. does not have that many students , however; the number has increased with in my last semester and it is growing in the number of student it has.
Reader Profile
1. The primary readers for this assignment could be any individual who wants to study some aspects of law. It could be anyone regardless if the person is a college student or not.
2. It could just be someone who is looking for a major and have not yet came to a decision of what they wanted to take. They would need to look at the requirements for the class that should have taken. They need to see how many classes he/she needs to graduate. Along with this major students are required to have a minor.
3. It does not have to be a current student it could also be future classmates.
4. Anybody that likes working with or around law would appreciate working in this field as well. We all know law is very interesting and it is always changing.
5. The detailed information within the web page is self-explanatory all of the requirements for this is particular website should be enough information to educate my readers about the major.
6. My reader should always be aware of my specialties as well. For any reason they may have any concerns or questions. They should feel free to contact me.
7. My website will be for all the readers. It is also going to have a number of contacts for the disable students.
8. It will also be accessible to anyone with a mental disability as well. If for some reason if someone does not understand there will be someone online to answer their questions.

Situation Analysis
1. The people that will be reading this website are probably going to be future students or current students. It would needs to be thought out clearly. It will describe all the details for this particular major.
Usability Objective
• How many hours do I need for this degree?
• How many classes does the university offer toward this degree?
• What class do I have left to take?
• Can I substitute some of my classes for credits toward this degree?
• Are we required to have a minor?
• How many hours are we required to have to receive a minor?
• If I major in paralegal studies what would be a good minor?
2. Sequential reading from beginning to end
3. The reader will follow my instructions step by step
1 . My readers’ attitude toward this specific website is positive. I think it should be not only an informal but also a website that demonstrates that this particular minor is created for everyone.
2. My readers’ attitude toward me would be appreciative because I have provided them with all the information necessary for them to succeed in this program.
Stake holders
1. The people that would be considered a steak holder is the one with financial ties to this particular department.
2. If this program does not succeed in being successful for the University, it could mean a loss of money for this program and dominations and funding offered to this major.
Constraints
This is for the future college students therefore; it will be on college level standards. It is also very important for me to take into account that some people may have disabilities. Therefore, different accommodations’ will be provided. Not everyone might be on the same level it important to make sure he/she understands.
I have learned that I would like to have a website that is not a summary of the history about a college. I would just like to tell the student a little about what the college has to offer. Then I would focus on the Paralegal Studies major for the remainder of the homepage that represents that particular major.
