Personal Project: Website Analysis

When researching information on websites, there are many credentials that should be looked at. Credentials can include looking up the author names, checking the validation of the information, looking at dates and researching the articles published. By studying the topic of nutrition, there are thousands of websites out on the web with numerous amounts of information on them. Nutrition is a very detailed topic, and readers have to be careful on what they are reading in the fact of the information being true. To show the process of evaluating websites, I have picked two different websites that are paired together. The first one was for the company called JuicePlus, and the other was title EatRight by the Academy of Dietics.

Their website is www.ahima.org (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. which I will provide again for you. They are home based in Illinois with their primary address being

The website that I selected for evaluation is http://www.marchofdimes.org/, and I chose this site due to the fact that I currently work in the neonatal intensive care nurse. The domain for the website is .org, and my reason for selecting this site is the fact that I have referred to this source in the past when doing projects for work requiring data and statistics. The mission of the “March of Dimes” is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality (Mission | March of Dimes. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.marchofdimes.org/mission.aspx). In evaluating the credibility of this website I identified the “Get to know us” section. In this section, it details under “Professional Collaborations”, how the “March of Dimes” works with organizations to bring the most current scientific and clinical information to providers (Medical Resources | March of Dimes.

Cathedral High School is a prestigious and catholic school at El Paso available strictly for men and 9th graders to 12th graders trying to accomplish excellence in their students, preparing them for their college studies.

The website I picked was Western Washington University’s main site (https://www.wwu.edu). First off with it being a school’s website, there are bound to be several log in pages. I did find the myWestern log in page just by viewing the main website. Here students can log in to maintain their academic accounts and several other things. If you were able to gain access to someone’s account via the myWestern log in page, you could potentially gather sensitive information. Generally, this is heavily guarded against especially with college websites. However, a vulnerability that could be present would SQL injection if the right countermeasures weren’t taken. I did not attempt to actually do a SQL injection as that would be a flat-out active

Before I turned one, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening peanut allergy. It is scary to think that when I start college I will not have my parents home cooked meals knowing that everything is safe for me. In my college search I need to take into consideration how each school will deal with my allergy. On the UCONN Nutrition site, it says that they make every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions. In the dining halls they label items with possible allergy containing ingredients, but there is always a risk of contamination (Nutrition Dining Services UCONN). If I choose to attend UCONN, they have a database online with all the food they are serving for that day and the ingredients are listed. The Culinary Development

The website I have chosen for this assignment is called smart classroom management. The site was created by a man named Michael Linsin. Linsen is the founder of the website and has taught every grade level from kindergarten through high school for the past 25 years. Linsin created the website with the goal of helping teachers create a classroom that faithfully follows classroom management, while at the same time creating an environment that students enjoy and want to return to everyday. With, a firm emphasis on both strength and joy being the key to really strong classroom management. The act of shouting angry getting angry being major reactions that Linsen widely believes to be ineffective. Rather, then showing a negative reaction to bad behavior, the use of simple strategies and techniques he describes will help teachers get students to behave the way they wish. The key to doing so, is by reaching students intrinsic motivation. Linsen of the mindset that all students can be taught no matter how difficult they may be. They need guidance from a teacher from a teacher who is willing to demonstrate their professionalism as a teacher. Learning itself should be an

One of the websites I found that was somewhat helpful was VassarStats: Website for Statistical Computation. Created and run by Dr. Richard Lowry, Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Vassar College. The information, and calculators provided are very useful. The website gives explanations on how to use the computation/calculators available. The website works best on Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.

Sometimes it seems like the computer game industry is dying, crushed to death by its own bulk. Every year more and more gaming companies get gobbled up into huge conglomerates like Electronic Arts, companies that mostly put out trash that is technically and visually impressive, but devoid of concept and content. However, there are some small gaming companies that buck the trend. While mostly just small groups of programmers and artists, some are huge unions of fans who, irritated with the dropping quality of computer games, have decided to use the power of the internet to get together and to produce games tailor-made to their personal preferences.

If anyone notices that a child develops symptoms after being exposed to certain foods, then the child should avoid such foods. The most common foods that can cause allergies include: peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.), fish, shellfish, eggs (especially egg whites), milk, soy, and wheat. Keeping a diary for a few weeks and recording what foods a child has been eating, especially new foods, and when they develop symptoms may help figure out what they are allergic to. This is often what professionals encourage families to do to get to the true cause of what is making them so ill. Once it has been determined what a child is allergic to, it is important to learn to read food labels because the food a child is allergic to may be an ingredient of many other foods.
