  23. Evaluating Websites 5 Points What can a websites domain tell you about the site? A websites domain can tell you what the site is related to but as domain names are invented by the author it may represent the site content and it may not.

  24. Evaluating Websites 10 Points Why would you want to know when a website was first published? Looking at how long the website has been in place, how often it is updated, and when it was last updated can help determine its reliability.

  25. Evaluating Websites 15 Points Why is it important to know why a website was created? Knowing the author’s intent or purpose will help determine if the information is accurate and presented without bias.

  26. Evaluating Websites 20 Points If you are evaluating a website, should you look at the sites which are linked off of the website? Yes, knowing what other websites are using the website as a reference can be very helpful in determining the reliability and intent of the site.

  27. Evaluating Websites 25 Points Does it matter if the information you found on the website is much different than information you’ve found on other websites? Yes, if the information is different from information found from sources you should look closely at the author’s intent and sources sited to help determine if the information is reliable.

  28. Evaluating Websites 30 Points Should it matter who the author of the website is? Yes, knowing the author can help determine the reliability of the information. For example a doctor talking about medical information will most likely be accurate and reliable.

  29. Evaluating Websites 35 Points Why does it matter who published or hosts the website? The publisher or host is important to determine the purpose of the site. For example a .com may be trying to sell something or an .org may be trying to persuade you to a certain point of view.

  30. Evaluating Websites 40 Points Why do you want to know if a website’s information is fact or opinion? Knowing whether the information is fact or opinion can help you to know what is concrete and what is someone else's thoughts on the subject. By separating the two you can base your own opinion on the facts and not someone else's interpretation of the facts.

  31. Evaluating Websites 45 Points Should you be concerned with the background of the website author? Yes, the author’s background can help determine the validity of the information. If a math teacher is talking about different ways to approach a word problem they will most likely be presenting valid information.

  34. Evaluating Websites 60 Points Why should you be concerned with mistakes in grammar and spelling? Spelling and grammatical errors should make us question the quality and accuracy of the information provided as most reliable websites will review their content for errors before and as they continue to be available sites.
