Website Reliability Exercise
Visit each site below and answer the following questions for each site:
1. Date Information: Does the page have a copyright date? Is the information up to date? How can you tell? When was the page last updated?
2. Presentation: Are there spelling, punctuation or grammar mistakes? Does the page look professional?
3. Authority: Who wrote the web page? Is it signed by an author or a major organization? If it is signed by an author, can you find out his or her credentials? What makes the author qualified to speak about this content?
4. Bias: Does the page present both sides of an issue or is it one-sided? Does the author have an agenda; that is, is the page interested in spreading a particular point of view or opinion? Is the author selling something?
5. Your Judgment: On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being completely unreliable and 10 being extremely reliable, how would you rate the site? Why?
