Evaluating
Internet Resource
 |
| Image |
We chose to evaluate an internet post called “What if I
never took a bath?” by Katherine Neer.
The post is part of the website “How things Work.” The article is an informative piece about bathing.
This post includes both text and images giving it a professional look. The
image, a woman washing herself, clearly represents the main subject. When we
look at the URL and the presence of advertising we would judge this website to
be fairly accurate, though the body of the post does lack in-depth information.
The
facts presented in the post cite links to other articles within how stuff works
domain, creating a reciprocal citation record.
In spite of this, the information provided does conform to standard opinion
on the subject. There for, we would consider the information valid but may not
be good for an academic source. It does include eye catching facts such as, “An average person can sweat something like 1 to 3
liters per hour depending on the surrounding climate” (Neer).
