PSY 265

Internet Projects:

 

Your internet project must be on a topic covered under the chapters in the units on the test.  It is due at the beginning of class on the day of the test.

 

Grading:  You can earn up to 25 points. 

 

Remember to include:

 

1. Full Site address (1 point).  Be sure to attach a print copy of the web site.
2. Why you chose the activity- why did it interest you? (2 points)
3. In your own words- what NEW information did you learn about the topic?(10 points)- Remember a site is often more than one page!  Make sure to address what you learned BEYOND what we covered in class on the topic.  How did the information add to information in the text or presented in class?  This summary should not be more than one page max.
4. How current is the information on the site?  How did you determine this? (2 points)
5. For what audience do you think the site was intended?  Why do you think so?  How does this relate to validity? (2 points)
6. Why was the internet an effective (or ineffective) way to learn about the topic? Was the information in the site valid?  How do you know?  Was there any bias to the presentation?  Go beyond the following:  the authors wouldn’t give us an invalid site to search; the info agreed with class discussion….consider this:  if you just happened on the site, how would you determine if you should believe the information????  (4 points)
7. Is your writing style clear?  No typos or grammatical errors…. (4 points)
