Your next major assignment is the review essay. For this assignment, you will need to select a website
related to ADHD/ADD and then compare the site to a set of criteria.
View the tutorial on the GCU Library website titled "Evaluating Websites." Take notes about the five
criteria while you are watching it.
Which three of the five criteria do you find to be the most important? Do they seem like enough to
evaluate a website? How would you define each criterion? Why is each one important?
During the week, review your classmates’ posts and discuss similarities and differences between your
response and your peers’ responses.
The video tutorial of “Evaluating Websites” on the GCU Library website was very helpful of
understand the fiver criteria when evaluating a website. I believe that all five criteria is very important
and it was a little difficult to narrow it down to three.
The three criteria that I believe are the most important are: authority, accuracy, and objectivity. The
authority criterion is the ability to identify the author and verify the author’s credibility. This is
important to make sure the writer or author has the credibility to write about the information. The
criteria of accuracy is being able to identify the qualifications of the website. The ability to know who
the publisher is by identify the websites URL domain extension. The three criterion of objectivity is the
goal of the message that is being convey that does not have bias. The importance of supporting claims
by citing where the information was retrieved. Also, evaluating the website of numerous amount
advertisement that can lead to bias. The three criteria of authority, accuracy and objectivity is the
minimal to evaluate a website. As the other two criteria: currency and coverage are as much important.
