__**<span style="color: #0c308d; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Source evaluation: **__ 1. The first source on my list was well organised, useful and reliable. The page was well set out and it was easy to find the information I was looking for. This site was esspecially useful, I found the right information and quickly. The source was the most reliable I used, there were quotes from sources, and a bibliography of where other information was extracted from, also the information that was read was constantly backed up in other sources that I used. From all this it was easy to extract information and be sure it was correct, also there was no plagorism. Another point of how reliable it is, the site was often updated and was new, anything found recently would have been added.

2. The third source on my list was disorganised, unhelpful and not as reliable. The page was not set out well, I found little information, although I did find some, making it the least helpful of all, and I didn't consider the source very reliable. There were no quotes or references, or even a bibliography at the end, the author and publication date were not stated, I used the information I did because I had seen the information in other sources as well. After all this the source was not overly helpful, and used complex language to describe its information, it was difficult to aquire the required data. The source was not as reliable as my other source, because there were no refereance and no bibliography.
