You navigate through the site with no problem. The updates were current, as well as the content of the article.
The access was quick and I had no problems with the videos and being able to get to specific links which were all compatible with the article in case I needed to do extra research. No citations and I would have thought the copyright would have been at the end of the article but wasn't.-

The source I would consider credible for the information that was needed. The site was average at best. The author fulfill most of the 10 C's. Critical Thinking about software pirates and the statistics and sources for backing up his research was a key element. At the end of the article he stated some of his credentials which would allow me extra research on him if it was needed.-

This one is a little tricky to evaluate because this was an academic paper from the school library and doesn't have a web site.

Content, along with context were the key elements.-

PBS prides themselves on being precise when researching a story with credible sources. It's not too many times if at all PBS has had to re-cant a story because their source wasn't credible. Everything from navigating through the site to the content was Grade A.-

At times from personally reading the LA Times, they can be a little bias through their editorial. But what paper doesn't have its favorites. I like the fact the email was present after the article. Some more main-stream news websites didn't have that. But it helps me in case I need to email this author for further detail just in case some of their credibility is questioned. But, there were no issues when evaluating through the 10 C's as well.-

The author stood out mostly by letting us know the things he has done, which allows me to go back and check his credentials. He had email, as well as, website access from the article. The Critical Thinking could be read through his article and overall evaluation of the webpage was pretty good. I guess, I am always expecting a little more for the computer information based websites.-
