Wikipedia is NOT ACCEPTABLE for this assignment
Your review should include the following four (4) sections with headings:
Web Site Information: Include the actual title of the web site and the full URL
(web address). This will be the shortest portion of the review.
Description of Web Site: Actually describe what is available on this web site. How
is the home page set up; look at menus, visuals, etc. What are the internal link
options available on the home page? Click on a few internal links (sub-pages) and
briefly describe what you see. Try to give a good overview of what someone can
expect.
Discussion: Evaluate the web site. How worthwhile is this web site? Is it easy to
navigate? Would you recommend this to someone doing research on the topic of the
web site? This section of your review should be as long, if not longer, than the
description.
Facts from the Web Site: List three (3) facts you learn from the web site. They can
be brief, factoid type information.
Just about anything/anyone we cover over the first nine weeks is acceptable, so
