GUIDELINES FOR WEB CRITIQUE

Web Critique for A114 Students

 

BACKGROUND: The guidelines for your A114 Web Critique are given below. You must write a report of about 4 pages, WHICH IS DUE NO LATER THAN DEC 9 (last official day of class). You may hand in or e-mail to me a draft at any time for comments without a grade. I will try to return my comments by the next class period.

 

In doing this critique, keep in mind the following points:

 

• What can you learn about the person or group that put the site together? Are the names of the writers or creators indicated and do they solicit feedback? Are you able to tell if it is a reputable person or mainstream organization?

• Who is the site directed to? Is it trying to convert you to an idea? Do you think it has a commercial interest (trying to get money from you)?

 

• What do you find the most useful aspect of the site? How user-friendly is it?

• From your perspective, do you find any bias, misleading or erroneous information on the site? Do you find information that contradicts or confirms what you have learned in class? If so, what is the response of the site webmasters if you are able to send your comments or criticism?

 

• Find something specific on the site that relates to the course material or discussion. Discuss what you find and relate it directly to examples from the course or class discussion.
