Good vs Bad websites

Yahoo.com is a well designed website which has categories on left side panel and a icon to each to represent each category. You can browse through the website from news, blogs, email, and with color schemes, easy and simple.

 

Immigration Direct

1. I think the site is good for the English speaker since the layout information is explanatory for people to understand what they need to find and step by step instructions to fill out their information.

2. Some features that make the site navigable are the quick drop down menu for each category and brief description to each category. The user friendly menu which displays “Where Do I Start?” that lets the user to choose options from a section category for immigrants, citizens, and residents. Also the bottom layout which shows a user which application is needed to apply for.

3.Some features I like about the site is that it explains each category and what it needs to be fill out in the forms for renewal or applying for an application and search function of the site to search for an specific category.

4. I think the site needs a language selection for non-English speakers and reviews from customers that used the site for suggestion to others.

5. It was easy once you navigate through the site top category menu to find the Form I-765 by scrolling through each drop down menu for each category or you might want to do a search for the form and it is right below of “Where Do I Start?” I was able to find the I-765 in USCIS Forms and see a description to the form.

The passion of Steve Jobs, “The most important thing that I learned from Steve is to always follow your heart.

Should I accept boss credit or not for a project done by colleague?

I should not be accepting the praise because my colleague did most of the work. Also if I should accept the praise and didn’t give most of the credit to my colleague it shouldn’t be honest work and my colleague wouldn’t get a promotion.

The boss would most likely look on the situation if I should credit most of the work to myself without naming my colleague works most of it. It shouldn’t be fair for me to get a promotion. I go on to sincerely praise my colleague for his work on his account, describe what he did, and then naturally I go on to talk about how teamwork and creativity on his work.
