It is important to evaluate the websites you use for research. Not every website is authoritative and accurate. View the PowerPoint presentation called "Hey There! Have You Evaluated?"

You may want to print these reminder sheet to help you when you're evaluating sources: CARRDSS, Questions to Ask When You're Evaluating the Web, and URLs as Clues to Content

Use the evaluation checklist to analyze 5 of the following websites. DO NOT do the same five sites as your neighbor. Submit your completed checklists in one document to Blackboard Dropbox.
