Evaluating Web Sources

You need to read carefully and think critically when using online sources, particularly web site information. Below are three sites I would like you to evaluate as your reading report. This report does not need to follow the pattern we have been using. Instead, do two things.

First, evaluate them using the UCLA Guide to Thinking Critically about WWW Resources. Not all the questions posed in this guide need to be answered, but address the major topics to determine whether or not these site could be legitate resources for the assignment you are working on. (I mean legitimate in the general sense, not just legitimate for your particular topic.)

Second, identify the world view that seems to inform these sites and authors. Explain how the world view informs the more specific views and beliefs expressed on these pages.
