Assigning a score to a website.

Now that you have evaluated a website using the Website Critique Checklist, give the website one (1) point for each category for which you checked "yes."  Count up the points and assign it a rating according to the following scale:
 
 

30-34 points Enthusiatically recommend
25-29 points Recommend
20-24 points Recommend with reservation
15-19 points Do not recommend
< 15 points Don't even go there!

How did the website do?  Although it may take a little time initially, evaluating websites that your students use (and that you design) is an extremely valuable tool.   It is important to be a critical consumer of information, and to teach your children to do the same.
