Website Evaluations

so, the questions to answer regarding website evaluations:

1-forms you like/dislike:
I liked the forms that use simple yes/no evaluations, then left a space for notes. I think rating the website with a number 1-5, and then adding them up to determine how good the website is is unnecessarily complicated. People filling out the evaluations can use the questions as guidelines and things to think about when evaluating the website, rather than as cut and dry necessities.

2-were there any hidden secrets about a website that you discovered by using an evaluation?
No, not on the websites I looked at, but it did make me consider things that make a good website, like graphics and the ease of maneuvering the website.

3-What is the value of using a website evaluation process?
It makes you look at all of the facets of a website that you would normally not think about when going over a website. This way, when you are considering using a website for your class, you are able to ascertain how appropriate and helpful it would be to use.

4-Are there times when you would/would not use a formal evaluation?
As I said, you could use a formal evaluation for when considering a website for your class, but under regular research conditions, i think as long as you determine that the information comes from a reliable source, a formal evaluation is unnecessary.
