Evaluation of site:
This site is also a good place for information on how music can effect humans. It may be considered as a negative effect in some cases, a good report or paper usually has a counter argument inside it so the ENVENESS is also good. The SOURCES of this site are University Professors so the information can be verified as good information.

Evaluation of site:
This site has little info for citation and sources as the link referencing the Book the information is taken from is broken. The book that this information is taken from though is a very well known book in the area of Music therapy. so the SOURCES of the book could be considered very good

Evaluation of site:
This site gives good examples of the effects that Music can do for a humans emotions and whatnot. so the COVERAGE is very good on this site. The SOURCES though are impossible to find making this site also bad.
This Assignment has allowed me to view and understand why looking specifically for certain Top-Level Domains allow for an increased and specific search that easily locates information. The .gov search gave me the most information in this assignment as it brought me to a well cited page with tons of information on the topic i was trying to find. Searching on Dogpile allowed me to make my search so specific that the .gov search only brought up two links and it was the most informative also.
Hi, Evan:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were successful in your domain level searching on the open web. There is a lot of good and not so good information. Most web pages won't have every element of ASPECT and don't need to but if you can use that evaluation to check on several sections, it can give you a good idea about the information found on the webpage. Thank you for your report.
Cheers,
Andrea
