This week's assignment took our class on a journey to evaluate web pages. I must say that I have done something similiar to this before without actually knowing that I was doing an evaluation. We used a check list to thoroughly evaluate two of the websites that we found for our projects. The checklist is a very in-depth one as it has you search for very specific details. For example, it calls for the researcher to see if there is any contact information for the author of the article. Many people wouldn't think to look for something like that.
My topic is a bit different because its not really an academic topic. The majority of the sites that do turn up in my searches are commercial websites. Luckily, I have gathered articles written by some well respected coaches in the game of basketball. The authors for the two websites that I choose to use for this assignment did list their contact information.
