This assignment will offer an opportunity to review and analyze three websites that provide sexual health information and/or education.
Go online to look for websites that provide sexual health information or education appropriate for college students. Decide which three sites you will review.
Analyze the websites using the questions listed below.
Write a 4-page paper elaborating on your answers and identify which of the sites you would recommend to students in this class and why. Give examples or quotes to support your answers to the questions below. The paper should be written as a narrative analysis, in your own words. Do not copy the questions into the paper.
In your paper, answer these questions for each of the three websites, answering all questions about the first website, then the second, and then the third:
Who sponsors the site, and what is their mission? (You can find this in “About Us” found on most websites.) Commercial sites end in .com, non-profits end in .org, government sites with .gov, and academic sites with .edu.
Does the website emphasize the importance of making informed choices that are consistent with one’s personal values?
Does the website distinguish between facts and opinions?
Is the website age/experience-appropriate for its intended or stated audience?
Does the website include adequate information to ensure visitors’ understanding of the topic?
Is the design clear, easy to use/navigate?
Is the content reputable, accurate, current, interesting? (Does it cite its sources of information?)
What are the political views of the sponsoring organization? Do they advocate for a particular point of view?
How comprehensive is this resource? (Using the LIFE BEHAVIORS OF A SEXUALLY HEALTHY ADULT included in the syllabus.)
Would you recommend this site to students in this class? Why or why not?
