Website evaluation2
This document outlines an assignment where students had to research whether a zombie apocalypse was possible by finding an online article. Two students, Joey and Charlie, came to different conclusions.

Website evaluation
The document outlines an agenda to discuss website evaluation and search techniques. It then presents two student assignments that came to different conclusions on whether a zombie apocalypse is possible. Student A cited an article from Cracked.com that argued parasites could alter human behavior. Student B cited an article from Harvard Health that said only prions could potentially cause zombie-like symptoms but cannot spread between people. The document ends discussing the importance of evaluating sources for currency, authority and point of view when searching online.
Website evaluation
The document discusses two students, Joey and Charlie, who were assigned to research whether a zombie apocalypse is possible. Joey concluded yes, citing an article that biological weapons could alter a parasite to make humans lose rational thought. Charlie concluded no, stating that prions are the only link to zombieism but cannot spread between people. The document then compares the two sources and discusses evaluating sources based on currency, authority, and point-of-view.
Notetaking
The document provides guidance on effective note taking methods for research papers. It discusses four note taking approaches: note cards, notebooks, word processors, and Easybib. For each method, it describes how to organize notes into categories or "slugs," cite sources, and develop an outline to structure the paper. The key aspects of note taking are selecting relevant information, understanding content, and putting sources into your own words to avoid plagiarism.
Web eval
Today's agenda includes participating in a group discussion about websites, evaluating a website based on its authority, currency, coverage and objectivity, and comparing evaluation results. Website evaluation criteria include assessing whether the source is an accepted authority on the topic, if the information is up-to-date, sufficiently informative and relevant to the topic, and objective by presenting facts without bias. An advanced search tip is to remember to focus Google searches by using date ranges and website domains to filter results.
