Evaluating Internet Sites

Week 5

Review these websites and evaluate them. Who is responsible for them? Who wrote the content? Is the content current and is the site being maintained? What is the purpose of the site? Who is the audience of the site? Is the web design professional and modern? Are there errors or inaccuracies? The site objective or biased?
