Darn it, I thought i was doing so well with my last post too, but as usual I stuffed it up, putting the first site in which is a comercial site (or is it an advocacy site hmmm still not really sure), got the second one right though as an academic resource, and the third was an advocacy or personal opinion, as indicated by the ~ in the URL , which used a university domain name.(a little confusing really).
At least I’m learning things I guess, and did fairly well in the tests from the tutorial scoring 70%. The hardest part was distinguishing between a reference site and an advocacy site, but I guess the best way to approach it would be to ask the question,”does this site promote its own ideas or is it objective about all ideas regarding the topic?”.
Other useful tips were referencing the source to other links by using the link:url syntax in a search engine to see where the site links to, and comparing it to other similar webpages for verification of the messages being displayed.
