WE'RE NUMBER 1!
BC STUDENT WEBSITE VOTED BEST OF CUNY

A technical writing class taught at City College has completed its yearly evaluation of all the CUNY websites, and BC is Number 1! The website project consisted of creating a complete protocol, itself evaluated, justified and then used as an "evaluation instrument" to judge the websites. The sites were ranked according to the criteria within the protocol, earning points for excellence. Out of a possible 28 points, BC earned a majestic 21-fully double the points of Hunter College, which placed second in the rankings.

Here's how the rankings were derived:

• There were seven evaluation teams, comprised completely of students.
  
• Each team judged the individual college websites using the evaluation instrument.
  
• After all teams had completed the evaluations, they ranked the colleges.
  
• 4 points were assigned to the top college in each team, 3 points to the second-ranking college, and so on. Thus, the highest possible total was 28 points.

For the student evaluators, what put BC's website way out front were the excellent and varied graphics and images of campus life, and our wealth of easily accessible information in all areas.

Curious about the complete list of rankings? Here it is:

1. Brooklyn College
2. Hunter
3. John Jay
4. Baruch
5. Bronx Community
6. Kingsborough Community
7. Lehman College (tied with CCNY, at 3 points each)

ITS is delighted to be praised by a school's most valuable resource-the students-and acknowledges that our website is the result of the efforts of all members of the BC community. With your contributions, we hope to be Number 1 for many evaluation teams to come.
