Task Given	Unexpected Responses
1	Wondered if there was a correlation between the star used to favorite the posting and the stars used in the line graph. Thought something else should have happened besides the star next to it as a visual reminder. Specifically the number changing
4	Easily navigated to the post review screen but was confused that there was no marker for internship versus normal position. Did not put the term internship into the textbox.
5	Used the text box as expected, but commented that he wished that he got more feedback as he typed, requesting similarity to Facebook and Google's incremental search. Said that he expected a search result screen rather than a direct linking to John's profile page.
6	Performed as expected.

Task Given	Unexpected Responses
1	Performed as expected.
2	Took clicked on the link of the job almost immediately, but was surprised by the slide-out behavior as the "is normally for minmal additional data, not the entire posting." Thought there could be way too much data presented on the frontpage at once if the user opened all of the reviews at once. Hesitated to click on the user's name to contact them as she didn't think it was a link Was surprised when the click on the username took you to the user's profile page as opposed to message sending interface. Wanted that transition to be the default behavior.
5	Performed as expected.
7	First jumped up to the search bar to begin the search and became frustrated that she couldn't find the advanced search options right there. Took a while to find the Advanced Search sidebar tab. "That isn't the last place I would look for it, but it certainly wasn't the first" Really liked the idea of the range searches and thought the emblematic notation was nice, but not consistent across the site

Task Given	Unexpected Responses
1	As expected, but asked "Is this the favorite button?" before clicking it.
3	NOTE: We performed this function incorrectly and handed the user the advanced search screen as opposed to the review screen. The response of the user was interesting as she tried very hard to make the range functionality server her purpose of ranking the job. She settled on showing the variability in the hours and difficulty axes, but was stumped on what to do when there for Overall Rating and Pay.
5	As expected.
6	Expected the unfavorited item to be immediately removed from the screen.
7	Very unclear on what "a lot" meant, but settled on only the 5 dollar sign. Didn't really understand how to represent this with the current expression of range. Finally ended up selecting all 5 dollar signs but was not satisfied that was the best way of presenting the information. Took time to fill in all of the fields for the range search(as a default they are blank)
