Week 2

The two research sources I stumbled upon this week were very fascinating and had really solid information within them. Especially the Womenshealth.gov site because of how simple the layout of the page is. I was able to just scroll through the site and all the information I need on binge eating disorder in women was right there. I thought the information it provided such as the causes were very well understood and gave a great explanation on them(depression, dieting, coping skills, biology).

I think that with this weeks assignment it gave me a very good understanding on what information was valid and useful from the ones that were not. It allowed me to decided on websites that would have correct and reliable information from the ones that were not. I know with the CRAAP test it allows you to critically think and pick apart the information as well as the source it is from. It is a great tool to use for researching the research articles or websites you are using within a paper.
