This document outlines the CRAP test for evaluating information sources. The acronym stands for Currency, Reliability, Authority, and Purpose/Point of View. It provides questions to consider under each category to determine how up-to-date, accurate, authoritative, and objective a source is. Additional tips include checking the author's credentials, publication details, bias, intended audience, and domain type (e.g. .edu, .gov, .com) when evaluating a source. The goal is to critically examine sources and identify unreliable, biased, or outdated information.

Evaluation Of A Site
This document provides guidance on evaluating the quality and credibility of websites for research and citations. It discusses a number of factors to consider, referred to as CARRDSS, which stand for Credibility, Accuracy, Reliability, Relevance, Date, Sources, and Scope. Credibility factors include considering the author's credentials and expertise, as well as clues about who published the content. Accuracy involves checking if facts can be verified from other reliable sources. Reliability addresses any biases present. Relevance is about how directly the content relates to the research topic. Date refers to when the content was created and last updated. Sources refers to whether the author cited reliable references. Scope examines the depth and intended audience of the content
Website Evaluation
The document discusses five criteria for evaluating websites: authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency, and coverage. It poses questions to help assess each criteria, such as identifying the author and organization, checking for cited sources, looking for evidence of bias, verifying dates, and determining the depth of information covered. Applying these criteria can help determine the usefulness and reliability of the information on a website.
Website Evaluation
This document provides guidance on evaluating websites for research purposes. It outlines five criteria to consider: authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency, and coverage. Authority refers to the credentials of the author/sponsor. Accuracy checks for factual errors or inconsistencies. Objectivity considers the balance/bias of perspectives presented. Currency evaluates how recently the site was updated. Coverage assesses the depth/breadth of information provided. Students are advised to apply these criteria to critically analyze a website's value before using it for research. Considering the criteria together provides a holistic evaluation of a website's reliability and usefulness.
Evaluating Websites Revised

Religion and social change 2
This document discusses Marxist views on religion and social change. It addresses how religion can both inhibit and encourage change, providing examples like liberation theology. Liberation theology emerged in Latin America in response to poverty and human rights abuses. While the Catholic Church condemned it, liberation theology resisted state terror and mobilized the poor. The document also examines millenarian movements, which promised immediate improvement for the poor, and cargo cults in Melanesia responding to colonial exploitation. Religion can be used to maintain social control but also challenge the status quo through alternative visions or clergy supporting workers' organizations. Case studies show how religious leadership, organization, and support influenced levels of class conflict and militancy.
Causes of the American Revolution
The document summarizes the key events that led to the American Revolution from 1763 to 1774. It provides background on colonial unrest growing due to new taxes from the British Parliament and King George III's proclamations restricting colonists. This tension escalated through acts like the Stamp Act, Quartering Act, Boston Massacre, and Intolerable Acts. By 1774, the First Continental Congress convened and war appeared inevitable after the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
Causes for American Revolution
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Revolution, including the Proclamation of 1763, various taxation acts passed by the British Parliament such as the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Townshend Acts, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Intolerable Acts. It provides context for colonists' responses to these acts and events, increasing tensions between the colonies and Britain that ultimately led to the American Revolution.

The American Revolution began as a result of growing tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain. Key events led to the outbreak of war in 1775, including several Acts passed by the British Parliament that taxed the colonies without representation. In response, colonists organized protests and boycotts of British goods. The Declaration of Independence was issued in 1776, declaring the colonies independent states no longer under British rule. The American Revolutionary War ensued as the newly formed American forces fought the British for independence.

Carol jones evaluating web sites
There are five main criteria for evaluating whether a website is suitable for research: relevancy, authority, objectivity, currency, and suitability. A researcher should consider whether the information is on-topic, who authored it and their credentials, whether it is fact-based or opinionated, how up-to-date it is, and whether it is at an appropriate level for the intended audience and purpose. Researchers should critically evaluate websites according to these standards and determine if higher-quality sources exist before citing a website in an academic paper.

CRAP Test for website credibility
- 3. How recent is this information? How recently has it been revised? Is it current enough for your topic? CURRENCY
- 4. Based on your knowledge, does the information seem accurate? Can facts, statistics, or other information be verified through other sources? Do there appear to be errors on the page (spelling, grammar, facts)? Did the author bother to document his or her sources and use reliable, credible sources? Do the links work? RELIABILITY
- 5. Who is the author? What are his or her credentials? Education? Experience? Affiliation? Does the author’s experience really qualify him or her as an expert? Does he or she offer first-hand credibility? (For instance, a Vietnam veteran or a witness to Woodstock?) Who actually published this page? Is this a personal page or is it part of the site belonging to a major institution? (Clues pointing to a personal page: ~ tilde, %, users, members) Is the page hosted by a free server like AOL, Tripod, Geocities? AUTHORITY
- 6. But what if I can’t find any author information?
- 7. Words and phrases to look for: About us, Who Am I, FAQs, For More, Company Information, Profiles, Our Staff, Home E-mail the author If you have no information other than an e-mail link, write a polite e-mail asking for more information. Look for Credibility Clues!
- 8. Delete characters in the address line up to the next slash mark to see if a main page offers more information about who is responsible for publishing the page you are interested in. Truncate the URL Go from: ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history/middleages/chaucer/smith.htm ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history/middleages/chaucer ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history/middleages ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history ·http://www.statecollege.edu
- 9.
- 10. Is the content primarily opinion? Or is it balanced? Does the source present a certain view or bias? Is the page affiliated with an organization that has a particular political or social agenda? Why was this page created? To inform or explain? To persuade? To sell? Who is the intended audience? Is it too simple? Is the page selling a product? Was the information found in a paid placement or sponsored result from the search engine? Information is seldom neutral. Sometimes a bias is useful for persuasive essays or debates. Understanding bias is important. PURPOSE OINT OF VIEW:
